How the Model Reads Kansas City Royals
Kansas City plays in Kauffman Stadium (0.96x run factor; massive outfield suppresses HRs but inflates triples). The model adjusts for K.C.'s spacious outfield by reducing HR-projection but increasing BABIP volatility. Recent rotation overhaul has been a model favorite — Seth Lugo and Cole Ragans have outperformed raw ERA.
