Toronto at Kansas City
WIN
The Kansas City Royals had established themselves as a horrible team over the past several seasons, the worst of which was the 106 losses a year ago. This team has become competitive and sneaky good and are off to a 15-10 start to the season. They will turn to Cole Ragans who has not gotten the results this season ith just one win, but he has held four of his five opponents to four or fewer total runs, inclusive of the bullpen. Jose Berrios is off to a good start, but despite Kansas City being bad for so long, Berrios is just 10-11 in 21 decisions against them, and the Royals are averaging just shy of five runs a game in those 21 decisions. Those numbers go to 4-7 on the road where Kansas City is averaging 5.36 runs per game. Make the play on Kansas City.

Toronto at Kansas City
WIN
The Kansas City Royals have finished the season with a losing record eight straight years. Last year was the worst of it as they lost 106 games. Is the 14-10 record so far this season a mirage, or have they gotten things turned around? The Royals' pitching staff allowed 5.3 runs per game last year, and just 3.21 this season, while the offense is generating 4.75 runs per game this year as opposed to 4.19 a year ago. Combine those numbers and the Royals are 2.65 runs per game better than a year ago. That is a huge change and has Kansas City seriously undervalued, and they have returned 24.3% when posted as a home dog this season. Make the play on Kansas City.
