The Toronto Blue Jays will be without two of their best players, Bo Bichette and Matt Chapman, when they host the Kansas City Royals tonight, but it shouldn’t matter. KC is just 18-51 on the road and will have Collin Snider toeing the rubber. Snider has just 10.2 innings under his belt and is 0-0 with a 4.22 ERA and a 1.59 WHIP. Yusei Kikuchi will get the start for Toronto, and he is 9-5 with a 3.63 ERA and a 1.26 WHIP. The Jays are still alive in the playoff hunt. They cannot afford to lose to the inept Kansas City Royals, and they know it.
TONIGHT’S PICK: TORONTO BLUE JAYS
