Royals for Real?

Since I'm going to see the Royals on the road twice this week, I thought I'd take a close look at the team. One way to get a good handle on a team is to look at their road statistics.

HR Allowed412

It looks to me that the Royals are a little better than 500 on the road, bases on their runs per game and ERA. But a the moment, their pitcher and hitters seem to have a great homefield advantage. So right now, the Royals are probably not as good as their overall record, but if they can maintain a large homefield advantage, they'll do very well this year. If you can play .500 on the road and 20 games over at home, you'll have a good shot at the playoffs.
