The Royals win the first game of the month but drop their final season against the Marlins to finish at 108-54, the best record in baseball once again.
It is the Rays who claim the AL East from the Yankees, with the Rangers claiming the last playoff place. The Braves outlast the Mets to secure the NL East which will be the difference between the Wild Card Series and a bye.
The Royals fall under their Pythagorean record by 4 games, with the underperformance coming on the road and in 1-run games. Both metrics are better than .500 but when compared to the incredible 65-16 record at home, are definitely an underachievement.
