Kansas City Royals Still Fight For Wild Card Playoff Spot?!?

Yes.

Here's an optimistic quote on the topic . .  .  

"Last season, the Royals finished 86-76, that was good enough to snag the second Wild Card spot, I do think if they post the same record, they will be playing October baseball once again. Is 20-14 down the stretch really unfathomable??"

Even better, we ran some fun facts we ran for more context . . . And then we'll share the link that inspired this post:  

The Royals' current record is 66 wins and 64 losses as of August 24, 2025.

They are in second place in the AL Central Division, but are a considerable 12 games behind the first-place Detroit Tigers (78-53), who are currently leading the division.

In the AL Wild Card race, the Royals are the first team outside of a playoff spot, sitting 2 games behind the Seattle Mariners (69-61), who currently hold the third Wild Card position.

The Royals are also 2.5 games behind the Boston Red Sox (71-59) and 4 games behind the New York Yankees (69-60), who hold the first and second Wild Card spots, respectively.

According to some projections, the Royals have a 19.1% chance of making the playoffs. This represents an improvement since the start of the second half of the season.
