They're doing what they have to do, playing .500 on the road and winning at home, once they got past the first couple weeks they have looked decent, pitching has been the big surprise to me.
I don't think there are that many great teams in the AL this year that they couldn't hang around the Wild Card race for a while, KC should win the division barring injuries but I don't see someone needing 90+ games to get into the playoff game.
That said, if they would lose 20 of the next 30 I wouldn't be shocked, as sioux rube said I am cautiously optimistic.
