Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports The path to the playoffs is narrow, and it’s unlikely the Royals will find it. Every year, I put the Royals’ schedule into a spreadsheet and follow a simple formula to create a path to a 90-win season: Win or split series at home. Win or split road series against weaker teams.
