The Royals still sit atop the AL Central, with 51 games to play. They've got a rubber game tonight at the ChiSox, and don't meet them again until the end of Sept. The Royals play these final 51 games against the Tigers, the Rangers, The Angels, The Indians, The Devil Rays, The Twins, the Yanks, and the ChiSox. Only the Yanks and ChiSox are a threat to KC. The Sox, on the other hand, still have games left against, the Yankees, the Red Sox, and the Blue Jays, as well as Cleveland and Minnesota, who haven't been exactly easy for Chicago this season. With the Royals leaving Chicago tonight at a minimum of a full game lead in the Central, I ponder this: With the difference in schedule, advantage Royals, can the Royals control first place and win the AL Central?
