As far as the Cardinals or Royals getting more wins on the season......The Birds on the Bats lead ALL of MLB in HR's, slugging, runs, RBI's, OPS & Triples.....and are in the top 3 in doubles, hits, batting average The Royals are in the Top 10 in Triples and average If those stats hold true or stay on pace, I'd say the Cardinals will be just fine. Pitching the Royals have a slight edge in Team ERA and K's, with the Cardinals having fewer walks and more quality starts.

Its early, but the Cards seem to be feast or famine at the plate. The rooks are keeping the BA up there, because the old dudes are slacking.
