The Royals are in a rebuilding year, and while they won’t admit it, they’re probably not going to be contenders for the post-season. But in baseball, there’s always hope, right? I mean, few expected the 2014 Royals to win the American League pennant (Bovada had them at 33/1 before the season).
But the odds are certainly stacked against the Royals this year, after losing two of their top hitters, their top starter, and four of their top relievers from a year ago. According to the Bovada Sportsbook, no team in baseball has longer odds to win a championship than the Royals.
