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

The New York Yankees will go for their sixth straight win and a sweep of the Detroit Tigers tonight in the Bronx. Expected starters are Eduardo Rodríguez for Detroit and Carlos Rodón for New York. Rodríguez is 10-7 with a 3.11 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP. Rodón is better than his numbers reflect. The southpaw is 2-4 with a 5.70 ERA, a 1.34 WHIP, and is due for a shutdown game.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK YANKEES

The Seattle Mariners have lost three straight but get back on track today when they wrap up their 3-game set with the Cincinnati Reds at Great American Ball Park.

This guy has only 12 innings under his belt with a 6.75 ERA and a 1.75 WHIP. Not good.

The Texas Rangers have now lost three straight and are two games back of the Seattle Mariners for the top spot in the AL West, but they get back on track today.
