The Kansas City Royals have made a remarkable turnaround from a 106-loss season last year to being serious playoff contenders, led by the stellar performance of Bobby Witt Jr. They currently hold a wild-card spot and are competing fiercely against teams like the Red Sox and the Yankees. The Royals’ upcoming schedule is challenging, facing several division leaders which could impact their playoff hopes. Additionally, the Baltimore Orioles, with a young and talented roster featuring Gunnar Henderson, Corbin Burnes, and Adley Rutschman, are almost certain to make the playoffs. The Diamondbacks, led by Ketel Marte, are also in contention, holding the first Wild Card spot. The MLB regular season concludes on September 29.
