Marco Estrada hasn’t been as sharp as years past, but he’s still a quality arm that should benefit from a great matchup with a bad Royals lineup. The move to Kauffman stadium is a nice park shift for Estrada who is certainly happy to get out of the American League East stadiums. The Royals are a miserable 17-43 at home this season and 1-4 against the Blue Jays. Jorge Lopez has been decent at times, but he doesn’t project to be anything special at this level of competition. I have the Blue Jays winning 60 percent of simulations making them a nice value at -135.
Burch Smith has given up 16 earned runs over his last three starts while walking six and fanning just eight. K.C. has won 15 of its last 60 games. This is a reasonable price on Toronto, which is 19-7 in its last 26 games versus sub.-400 teams. Don't buy into K.C.'s recent modicum of success when Toronto visits. Lay it with the visitors.
