Kikuchi has been inconsistent, but the Royals offense has been so bad as of late, he is going to look like a Cy Young winner in this start. Singer gave up seven runs in his last start, and the Blue Jays offense will continue the hot streak here. The Blue Jays will win this game in blowout fashion. Back the Blue Jays -1.5.
