TOR/KC 1st 5 U4.5
Brady Singer takes the mound for the Royals who has proven to be a “shut down” type of starting pitcher so far this year. Brady holds a 1.54 while he has given up an average of 1 earned run per start this year. On the other side, Yusei Kikuchi makes the start for the Blue Jays who holds a 2.08 ERA and is averaging 1.25 earned runs per start this year. These are two top starters in the MLB this year who have proven to be turned to so far in order to keep their team in the game.
The Royals & Blue Jays can put up runs in bunches but have not proven to be consistent so far this year while each are hitting .235 & .237. Kansas City got off to a hot start this year but since has slowed down considerably while hitting .209 in their last 7 days and Toronto continues to struggle with runners in scoring position. Both teams have struggling bullpens, so let’s keep the ball out of their hands and play the 1st 5 Under.
