The Kansas City Royals and Toronto Blue Jays face off on Thursday in an MLB showdown at the Rogers Centre. 

The Royals sit with a 35-53 record overall and they have won four of their last five games. On Wednesday, the Royals scored five runs and that was enough to come away with the three run victory. The Royals offense has been a big issue this season averaging 3.96 runs per game which is 26th in the league. One big issue for the Royals heading into this game is they are going to be without 10 players for this series including guys like Andrew Benintendi and Whit Merrifield. 

On the other side of this matchup is the Toronto Blue Jays who sit with a 47-42 record overall. The Blue Jays fired their coach on Wednesday and then were able to beat the Philadephia Phillies 8-2. The Blue Jay's strength this season has been the offense that is averaging 4.59 runs per game which is 8th in the league. Bo Bichette is having a big season hitting 14 home runs and driving in 49 RBIs. In this game, if the Blue Jays get some good pitching, they will be in good shape. 

On the mound for the Blue Jays will be Kevin Gausman who sits with a 6-6 record and an ERA under three. In his last start against the Tampa Bay Rays he went two innings, giving up four hits and zero runs. 

The Royals are 4-1 in their last five games. The Royals are 2-8 in their last 10 road games against a team with a winning home record. The under is 5-1 in the Royals last six games on Astroturf. The over is 18-4 in the Blue Jays last 22 home games. 

The Royals aren’t a very talented team overall this season, and now they are missing some key players without guys like Merrifield and Benintendi. The Royals bats are going to really struggle in this game and that is going to be the difference as the Blue jays win this game with ease. Take the Blue Jays -2.5 to cash.
