They have to finish 30-41 to avoid setting a club record for losses in a season, and they’ll be tested right away by facing off against the best team in the American League, the Tampa Bay Rays.
The Royals did manage to split a four-game set with the Rays in St. Petersburg a few weeks ago, and the Rays have played terribly in July, dropping seven out of eight games. In fact, after a hot start, they’ve gone just 29-28 since May 8.
