Where KC is getting a little fortunate is that Boston HAS reinforcements that could help them a lot and for some reason isn't using them.
Anthony and Campbell could come up and provide them a pretty big boost almost immediately. Both guys are locked in in AAA right now and can likely carry that hot streak through September.
They're not guys that are likely to give you 150 games of premier play at the moment (20 and 22 respectively) but both guys can come up in the middle of a hot streak and play damn good baseball.
But Boston's keeping them buried. They're making a mistake. The Royals don't really have ready reinforcements to use but it's not hurting them because their direct competition in Boston HAS those reinforcements but isn't using them.
