Preview:
The Royals enter this game in a series funk. The Royals have dropped 4 games in a row scoring just 6 runs and allowing 26 runs. In their last 22 games the Royals are just 5-17. As for the Blue Jays they are coming off a 2 games to 1 series victory over the Oriloes in Baltimore. The Jays bats have looked strong as of late putting up at least 7 runs in 3 of their last 4 games. In their last 9 contests the Blue Jays have a solid 6-3 record. From a pitching perspective the Royals will go with Paulino who is a middle reliever being used as a starter. Don't expect to see Paulino around late in this game. As for Morrow his numbers aren't great on the season but his stuff has looked awesome and as always when Morrow takes the mound he has the capability of dominating.
Odds for tonight's game (from Bodog Sportsbook):
Blue Jays to win are paying 1.83 at Bodog (compared to 1.50 on Proline)
Royals are paying 2.10 at Bodog (compared to 2.00 on Proline)
Blue Jays to win by 2 runs or more are paying 2.35 at Bodog (compared to 1.80 on Proline - LOL!)
The toal for this game is 9 runs slightly favored towards the under.
Selection:
Going to go with the Blue Jays in this game. The Royals bats have dried up and they have an unproven starter on the mound in Paulino. As for the Jays they have got te bats working and have Lind back in the lineup, plus they have a horse on the mound in Morrow. Give us the Jays for the win in this game.
