SAN DIEGO, CA - JULY 12: Eric Hosmer #35 of the Kansas City Royals and the American League rounds the bases after hitting a home run against the National League in the 2nd inning of the 87th Annual MLB All-Star Game at PETCO Park on July 12, 2016 in San Diego, California.

To increase those playoff odds, Salvador Perez will look to build on last year’s 48 home runs, which tied him with Toronto’s Vladimir Guerrero Jr. for the MLB lead. He’ll be joined by super-prospect Bobby Witt Jr.—about three years removed from high school—and Adalberto Mondesi.
KC’s pitching and lack of power may be a hindrance, but the team’s speed on the basepaths and fielding will make the Royals fun to watch.
