The Toronto Blue Jays finally came to their senses and fired skipper Charlie Montoyo, after under-achieving in the first half of the 2022 campaign. The Jays are coming off a 2-game sweep of a really good Phillies team and got interim manager John Schneider his first win yesterday. Tonight they will host the Kansas City Royals at Rogers Centre in Game 1 of a 4-game set. Toronto will have Kevin Gausman on the hill. He is better than his 6-6 record reflects. Gausman has a 2.86 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP. KC has played better of late but are just 16-26 on the road and 1-5 in their last 6 against Toronto. The Royals have yet to announce a starter for tonight’s game. Usually when a team fires a manager they go on a run and I expect the Jays to do just that.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TORONTO BLUE JAYS
