Trends

Toronto is 6-1 in their last 7 game four’s of a series and 5-2 in their last 7 Thursday games. The over is 6-0 in Toronto’s last 6 Thursday games. Kansas City is 4-1 in their last 5 game four’s of a series and 1-5 in their last 6 Thursday games. The under is 18-7-2 in Kansas City’s last 27 Thursday games. The under is 13-4 in these two teams last 17 head to head meetings. 

Pick

Kansas City has started the season struggling and only has one win so far, while Toronto has been able to start the year with a .500 record. The Royals are not hitting the ball very well and they have scored one or fewer runs in four of their first six games. Both of these pitchers were solid in their first outing of the year, and with Kansas City struggling to score runs, I like the under here.
