The Blue Jays crushed the Royals 9-2 in game one, fueled by a four-run first inning and a team-wide hitting effort that included a Sean Keys homer. Toronto’s pitching has been elite during their three-game win streak, now sitting at 71-71, while Kansas City’s slump continues at 63-79. Seth Lugo starts for the Royals, hoping to bounce back after his recent win over Toronto, while Max Scherzer takes the mound for the Jays following a dominant seven-inning shutout. Odds are tight — it’s essentially a coin flip — as both teams boast hot bats and hungry pitchers. Tonight’s showdown at Kauffman Stadium (7:10 PM ET) could be the turning point in this series.
