Kansas City Royals PAPPI — 2026
PAPPI (Points Against Pitchers Per Inning) is Diamond DFS's proprietary measure of the average fantasy point impact a team's offense has on opposing pitchers, per inning. It is expressed as a negative number — values closer to zero represent stronger offenses and tougher matchups for the opposing SP.
DFS takeaway
The Royals are middle-of-the-pack by PAPPI. Stack only when Vegas implies 5+ runs and the matchup is favorable; their hitters are usually best as one-off plays around top stacks.
Home park context
Royals play home games at Kauffman Stadium, which has a runs park factor of 104 and a home-run park factor of 96. That boost meaningfully lifts hitter ceilings at home.
