Kansas City at Toronto

Kansas City is playing as if it's on a mission to make up for its near miss of a World Series Championship last year. Edinson Volquez pitched six shutout innings in the Royals' 5-0 win in game one of this series, allowing just two hits. The Royals have taken advantage of a hitter's park and using more power and the top of the lineup, consisting of Alcides Escobar (.600 batting average), Ben Zobrist (.389) and Lorenzo Cain (.357) has been very productive.  Kansas City has won five of its last six games overall and seven of its last nine road games. Marco Estrada allowed three runs and six hits in 5 1/3 innings in game one. Jose Batista, the ALDS hero, is just 2-for-12 against the Royals. Look for Kansas City to close it out, so play the Royals.
