You can look at the overall record of a team and form a quick opinion of their current status, but that record alone does not form the total picture. You may well have two teams with very similar records playing in totally different divisions, and you may find that one is still very much in the hunt for a potential division title, while the other one is starting to reach a point of no return. That is exactly the scenario for the Kansas City Royals and the San Francisco Giants, a pair of teams who will be hooking up for an interleague series this week.

It has not been a great start to the year for the Kansas City Royals (28-34), but there is some good news that they can draw from. The Central division has been surprisingly weak this year, and the Royals are only 5 games out of first. Perhaps even better news is that KC have been showing some signs of life of late, and have either won or split each of their last 3 series. The Royals are way down the standings in runs scored, but they are starting to put some pop in their bats, scoring a total of 43 runs in their last 7 games. They must like their chances against a Giants team that has been bleeding runs this season. Jason Hammel (2-6, 5.43 ERA) will start.
