Our Toronto Blue Jays vs Kansas City Royals Prediction
The Royals might be 7-3 in their last 10 games against the Blue Jays, but they are facing a team that is trying to secure the No.1 spot in the AL East. Toronto would not allow itself to lose three games in a row and open the door for the Yankees to overtake them. Moreover, the Blue Jays will be starting the most experienced pitcher in their rotation, Max Scherzer, in the hope of stopping the bleeding. Scherzer helped Toronto capture its only win this season against the Royals after surrendering one run over six innings in a 4-2 win on August 2.
As for Kansas City, Michael Lorenzen has conceded 10 earned runs over his last two starts, including 6 runs in a 2-8 loss to the Phillies on September 12. It also doesn’t help that Kansas City is 3-8 in its last 11 games and 2-6 SU in its last 8 games against an opponent in the American League.
Our betting prediction for the Kansas City Royals vs. the Toronto Blue Jays: the Blue Jays -1.5 Runs.
