Jeckyl and Hyde is a little generous when you're talking about the Royals. A team with a .282 winning percentage is just flat out bad. They'll put a couple of good games together but this is not a good baseball team. The Orioles shouldn't have too many problems with them.
If you're going to use the Jeckyl and Hyde label on an AL Central team...use it on my guys, the Tigers. They're offense is in the top 5 in the AL and the second best ERA in the AL behind Chicago and somehow they struggle to get over .500. The biggest problem is that they're just not scoring enough runs and they're a sub-.500 team in one run games. Their pitching shows up and the bats don't. The bats show up and the bullpen blows the game. It's been frustrating to watch this team so far.
