The Blue Jays make their only trip to Kansas City, visiting the
Royals for a four-game set. The Royals haven’t had a winning homestand
longer than three games against any other American League team all year.
Sports betting is all about trends and the Royals only seem to be steady
in Mark Redmond’s starts right now. The Blue Jays won the season series 6-
3 last year, and will look to beat up on the bottom-of-the-barrel Royals.
The Blue Jays haven’t lost a series to an AL team with a losing record all
season.
