Spring training records aren't a great indicator of regular-season and playoff success, but despite an average 5-6 start to Cactus League ball in 2016, the defending World Series champions have been better than any other club in spring training games since 2010. 

Sports Interaction crunched the numbers and found that the Royals have won nearly 60 percent of their preseason games in that span, which is just slightly above their .586 winning percentage from the 2015 season.

The Texas Rangers, meanwhile, have recently been the worst spring training team in baseball despite and making the playoffs in four out of the last six seasons (including two trips to the World Series). 

The Toronto Blue Jays' cumulative record since 2010 is second best, and the team has made spring training bettors the richest by a gigantic margin.
