Kansas City Royals vs Toronto Blue Jays 7/15/2022 Picks Predictions Previews
The Kansas City Royals will go against the Toronto Blue Jays in MLB action in Rogers Center, CAN, on Friday, July 15, 2022, at 7:07 PM ET.
The greatest underdog in MLB heading into Thursday’s game was Kansas City, yet the Royals managed to escape with a 3-1 victory.
After taking three out of four from Detroit earlier this week, the Royals claimed five of their past six games. Due to vaccination status, they will be without a number of important players from their roster for this series.
Michael Taylor in center field, Andrew Benintendi in left field, Hunter Dozier at third base, Whit Merrifield at second base (toe), and veteran catcher Salvador Perez are among those out (thumb).
The Royals had a respectable offensive performance this season, ranking No. 12 in the MLB in terms of batting average (.245), but this series will undoubtedly have different expectations.
They are going up against the No. 20 ranked (4.03 ERA) Toronto pitching staff. Zack Greinke, a seasoned right-handed pitcher, will start for Kansas City on Friday. In his previous start against Cleveland, he only gave up three hits and a walk across five innings of shutout work.
In the superb start, Greinke did not permit a baserunner to advance beyond second base.
- The total went UNDER in 6 of Kansas City’s previous 9 matches.
- The Kansas City Royals are 5-1 SU in their last 6 matches.
- Kansas City is 2-5 SU in their last 7 matches against Toronto.

Kansas City Royals vs Toronto Blue Jays Predictions 7/15/2022
Since the Blue Jays just defeated Philadelphia twice, Toronto supporters were optimistic that their club would be able to gain some much-needed momentum before the All-Star break. They were out of gas in the postseason chase after losing nine of their previous ten matches.
Toronto sits 15.5 matches behind New York for third place in the AL Central. The Blue Jays and Boston are in a deadlock for the last AL Wild Card slot.
They rely on a potent offense that hits at a.259 clip and has the 2nd-best batting average in the majors.
Bo Bichette, a shortstop, is in first place with 97 hits, including 14 home runs. Vlad Guerrero Jr., a first baseman, hit 20 home runs and scored 56 runs. They are taking against the No. 27-ranked (4.79 ERA) pitching staff from Kansas City.
Alek Manoah, a right-handed starter, is anticipated to start this game for Toronto. In his most recent start against Seattle, he pitched 7.1 scoreless innings while giving up just two runs on 3 hits and 4 walks.
- The total went UNDER in 6 of Toronto’s last 9 matches.
- The Toronto Blue Jays are 3-10 SU in their last 13 matches.
- The total went UNDER in 5 of Toronto’s last 6 matches against Kansas City.
Kansas City Royals vs Toronto Blue Jays. The MLB pick for this game is the Toronto Blue Jays. Due to the immunization regulations that kept the majority of the Royals’ important players out of play on Thursday, Kansas City entered the series opener with a chip on its shoulder.
However, I anticipate Toronto to have a chip on its shoulder for this game. The Blue Jays cannot afford to lose another match as heavy favorites since they wasted their breathing room in the postseason chase. They have a fully healthy starting lineup, which gives them a huge advantage over a weak Kansas City squad.
In their previous 11 home matches versus the Royals, the Blue Jays prevailed nine times. They should triumph handily on Friday night to make up for their setback. The Toronto Blue Jays will win to a predicted score of 5-2.
