Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the MLB. Throughout the year, we ask questions of the most plugged-in Kansas City Royals fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.
Earlier this week, we asked Royals fans if the team was going to win the AL Central. The majority of you said no.
Add it all up, and 61% of fans think the Royals will finish the season with still only one AL Central crown to their name. Not only that, but 42% of those
who believed they wouldn’t win the division further believe they won’t even be good enough for a playoff spot. This stands in interesting contrast to the general predictions thread we put up earlier this week, where 56.5% of respondents believed the Royals would win the division. It looks like different polling methods will return different results, but that’s nothing new. I recommend you google the subject if you want to learn more.
A more positive way to spin the results is that 82% of respondents believed the Royals would make the playoffs in one form or another. I sure hope you’re right, even if I’m still hoping for a division crown. If you’re not tired of making predictions about the Royals yet, you should give a listen to the latest episode of the Royals Rundown podcast. In there, Jacob and I made a variety of predictions about the Royals and offered up an opportunity for you all to earn a small gift card by making your own.
Either way, we won’t have to survive on predictions alone for much longer. The Royals finally play baseball, tonight!
