This is not a travel team.

Their loss to the White Sox last night ensures they will have lost six of their first seven road series, the only success being a sweep in Seattle.
They are just 6-14 overall on the road, the second-worst record in baseball . The road woes have been a complete team effort – both the hitting and the pitching have been noticeably worse away from Kansas City. The team moved the fences in at Kauffman Stadium to give hitters a more neutral environment.
Runs are up 35 percent at the K – they averaged just 3. 71 runs-per-game there last year. At home, the Royals are an offensive juggernaut.
They have the seventh-best home offense in baseball with a wRC+ of 115. Royals hitters have a line of . 265/.
