Best bets: 2023 Kansas City Royals World Series odds, win total and more

The Indianapolis Star
 

In 2022, the Kansas City Royals scuffled their way to a 5th-place finish in the American League Central Division. Kansas City got out of the gate slowly, falling 20 games under-.500 (17-37) by June 7. Things got better, but the Royals still finished more-than-a-run in the hole in their per-game scoring profile (3.95 runs for, 5.00 runs against) while posting an overall record of 65-97.

In 2023, the Royals will take the field under a new baseball administration. Manager Matt Quatraro will be filling out a nightly lineup card with many players who haave less than four lines of data on the back of their baseball card. K.C. picked up a few bench bats and a few arms in free agency but almost all are veteran reclamation projects. The Royals hope perhaps a few of those acquisitions pan out and they can help mentor the youthful ballclub.
