Kansas City at Toronto

That sparkling and surprising Kansas City run is over, losing two in a row and 9 of 14. They were favored in the opener of this series, but lost 3-2. In fact, they've scored 3, 2 and 2 runs the last three games. The Royals are 14-29 in their last 43 games on astroturf and 2-9 in their last 11 road games against a team with a winning home record. Toronto not only has a winning home mark but has a strong offense, No. 8 in baseball in runs scored, No. 13 in on base percentage and No. 8 in slugging. Toronto pounded out 10 hits in yesterday's 4-2 win and has lefty J.A. Happ on the hill, with opponents hitting .208 off him in this park. The Blue Jays are 5-0 in their last five home games vs. a right-handed starter and are on a 6-1 run at home. Toronto has won four of five against Kansas City, and the Royals are 17-36 in the last 53 meetings in Toronto. Take the Blue Jays.
