The last three against Detroit they were +130, +134, +114
They bitch slapped Quintana as a +118 dog.
They beat Kluber as a +101 dog.
One thing sticks out, they are jumping out to early inning leads the last two weeks, and holding it.
Regarding the lack of power, they have power, between 2012 and 2013, entering 2014, Butler, Hosmer, and Gordon, have combined for over 110 home runs in those two years. (44,35,32)
You would have to think the home run surge will come after the all star break.
One last point, I just looked it up, Royals on the run line this year are 41-30 in 71 games for a +1450 unit profit.
