Free MLB Pick

The Royals don’t hit left-handed pitching well and Mark Buehrle is certainly having a good season. The Jays’ lefthander has recorded seven straight Q starts and has good historical statistics against the Royals roster with the batters hitting a lifetime .233 versus him in 172 at bats. Kansas City sends Chris Young to the mound and while he does have good stats against the Toronto lineup he has been struggling at home of late with 18 runs allowed in 21 innings pitched in his last four starts at Kauffman Stadium. His day time numbers are also not strong with a 1-2 record with a 5.86 earned run average in four day starts. The Jays bats have gone ice cold getting shut out in back to back games, but we believe that with Buehrle on the mound they may have only need to get to Young and the bullpen for three to four to get the money here.
