Toronto Blue Jays vs Kansas City Royals 4/3/2023 Picks Predictions Previews

 

The Toronto Blue Jays will go against the Kansas City Royals in MLB action in Ewing M. Kauffman Stadium, Missouri, on Monday, April 3, 2023, at 7:40 PM ET.

 

In the middle match of the series against the Cardinals on Saturday, Toronto’s batters were unable to get going. The team slipped to 1-1 on the year after scoring 10 runs in their season opener on Thursday.

 

It seems that the off day on Friday slowed down their enthusiasm. Toronto had just three hits overall in the game on Saturday; Bo Bichette got the other, while Kevin Kiermaier had two.

 

The Blue Jays had chances since they received 10 free passes, but they left 12 runners on base because they were 0 for 11 with the bases loaded.

 

A tough luck loser in the contest, Kevin Gausman (0-1) pitched six innings, surrendering three runs (none earned) on eight hits, one walk, and seven strikeouts. The third inning was prolonged by a Matt Chapman mistake, which produced three unearned runs.

 

José Berrios receives the ball from the Blue Jays as he begins his first start of the 2023 season.

 

Despite having a 5.23 ERA, a 1.419 WHIP, 45 walks, and 149 strikeouts across 172 innings of work, he made 32 starts last season and finished 12-7.

 

By allowing 29 long balls, Berrios topped the AL in hits permitted (199) and earned runs (100).

 

During spring training, Berrios made four starts, going 2-0, with a 4.30 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, six walks, and 13 strikeouts in 14.2 innings of work. Berrios will make his 20th career start against the Royals today.

 

Throughout 111.1 innings of work, he has a 6-4 record, a 4.45 ERA, a 1.374 WHIP, 36 walks, and 101 strikeouts. At Kauffman Stadium, Berrios made 10 career starts and is 2-1 with a 4.81 ERA, 1.466 WHIP, 22 walks, and 41 strikeouts over 58 innings.

 

  • The total went OVER in 8 of Toronto’s last 12 matches.
  • The Toronto Blue Jays are 1-4 SU in their last 5 matches.
  • The Blue Jays are 8-2 SU in their last 10 matches against Kansas City.

Toronto Blue Jays vs Kansas City Royals Predictions 4/3/2023

 

The first two matches of the season for Kansas City were both excellent and negative for the squad.

 

The Twins only scored four runs against the Royals in the first two games, but the bad news was that they were blanked in both contests, leaving them with a record of 0-2 for the season.

 

Kansas City only managed four hits against Minnesota on Saturday after getting two in the first game. Kyle Isbel, Vinnie Pasquantino, and Salvador Perez all recorded two hits, with the Royals’ first extra-base hit of the year being a double by Perez.

 

Throughout the game, eight runners were left on base by Kansas City, who went 0 for 8 with runners in scoring position.

 

5.1 innings of work from Jordan Lyles, who is winless, saw him surrender two runs (one earned) on five hits, two walks, and two strikeouts.

 

Brady Singer will likely get the ball for the Royals in this game for the first time this year. He pitched 153.1 innings in 27 appearances, 24 of which were starts, compiling a 10-5 record, a 3.23 ERA, a 1.141 WHIP, 35 walks, and 150 strikeouts.

 

In 12.2 innings of action during spring training, Singer had a 1-0 record, a 2.13 ERA, a 1.105 WHIP, two walks, and 18 strikeouts.

 

In this matchup, Singer makes his third career start versus Toronto. He pitched 11 innings and is 1-0 with a 2.45 ERA, 1.182 WHIP, three walks, and 11 strikeouts.

 

In 35 career appearances, 34 starts, at Kauffman Stadium, Singer is 13-10 with a 3.95 ERA, a 1.296 WHIP, 51 walks, and 173 strikeouts over 189 innings of work.

 

  • The total went OVER in 8 of Kansas City’s last 10 matches.
  • The Kansas City Royals are 0-5 SU in their last 5 matches.
  • The total went UNDER in 9 of Kansas City’s last 13 matches against Toronto.

Toronto Blue Jays vs Kansas City Royals. The MLB pick for this game is the Toronto Blue Jays. The Royals scored their first run of the season on Sunday after going scoreless for the first 19.2 innings of the season.

 

Having said that, Kansas City’s ability to produce runs in the first two or more games of the season doesn’t exactly fill one with confidence.

 

While Toronto was restrained on Saturday, some of it was attributable to the Cardinals’ Jack Flaherty’s craziness.

 

The Blue Jays’ lineup is more than capable of putting up respectable numbers as seen by their opening-game 10-spot on Thursday and their early-game three-run total on Sunday.

 

Expect Toronto to win this game on the road given the discrepancy between what we saw from the clubs at the plate. The Toronto Blue Jays will win to a predicted score of 6-4.
