Magic number for the Royals might be a bit premature..... granted it would take a massive turn of events but there have been some dramatic collapses in the past by front runners

AL CENTRAL TOP 3
Royals 71-46
Twins 59-58
Tigers 56-61

However, the Cards can't afford to think of 'magic' numbers

NL CENTRAL Top 3
Cardinals 75-42
Pirates 69-46
Cubs 67-49

Then again .....

if The Pirates or the Cubs were in the AL Central neither would the Royals

Just sayin....
