Breaking 100: An Improving Team

You may have noticed the Breaking 100 Trend (which is a season projection based on the last 15 games) has turned into a green up arrow. Consider these facts from today's Kansas City Star:

  • The Royals are 4-1 since Sunday this week.
  • The Royals have outscored their opponents 28-14 this week.
  • The Royals won 27% of their total victories this week (four of 15).
  • It's been 35 weeks since the Royals last won four games in a week.
  • It's been 85 weeks since the Royals last won a four game series.

Hopefully this isn't just a result of playing the A's, but rather the result of some improvement on the part of the Royals. Certainly the pitching has been adequate, and now the offense is beginning to show signs of improvement. It will be fun to watch what happens at Coors Field this weekend.
