What to expect in 2026?
The Kansas City Royals head into 2026 off an 82–80 season, and Bovada oddsmakers are watching closely. The front office is banking on improved outfield production while leaning on one of the American League’s stronger rotations. Bettors should also factor in Kauffman Stadium’s new dimensions, with fences moved in and lowered.
More home runs seem likely, but that does not automatically translate to higher team totals. The park’s massive outfield previously inflated extra base hits and supported arms like Cole Ragans. With shallower positioning now possible, run production gains may be modest. From a wagering standpoint, this park shift could quietly impact totals, pitcher props, and early season value on Royals games.
