Can the Royals adjust to playing in a smaller ballpark?

It seems as if I have been predicting the Astros’ demise in series previews several times in the past year. And while the franchise does seem to be transitioning to a new era, they are still competitive, just two games back of first in what seems like a very competitive Western Division.

The Astros offense was struggling when the Royals took two out of three from them at Kauffman back in April.
