Coming into the 2026 MLB season, the Kansas City Royals have plenty of optimism about surpassing the Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Guardians to win the AL Central.
While they will need more production from their pitching staff, one of the bigger question marks will be how the offense performs in 2026. Bobby Witt Jr. is a superstar, but the Royals will need a few others, like Vinne Pasquantino and Jac Caglianone, to step up.
With some optimism for those three sluggers coming into 2026, Eno Sarris of The Athletic is predicting that the Royals' offense turns in a top-10 season, which would bode well for their World Series chances. Royals predicted to have top-10 offense in 2026 "Royals' offense is top-10," Sarris predicts. "Last year, their park-adjusted offense ranked 22nd.
Even if it was 11th-best in the second half, they've only twice had a top-10 lineup in the last 35 years. You know what happened one of those years. " The Royals' offense ranking inside the top-10 in baseball this upcoming season would be a great sign for their chances to not only make the postseason, but also win the World Series.
