PECOTA Sucks! The 2016 defending champion Kansas City Royals, perhaps the most hated team in Missouri

@KSeaboldt
Royals have scored 82 runs in their first 30 games. Only one AL team in the DH era has been that bad:

2003 Tigers (80)
They went 43-119

@jazayerli
The Royals are 2-17 when allowing more than 1 run this season.

To rephrase: the Royals have overcome allowing 2 runs to win TWICE all year.

The worst hitter from each team who could start for the Royals
