Kenny G said the best way to attack Royals-Blue Jays is to lay the –140 on Toronto because he expects Chris Bassitt to rebound from his rough previous outing. Bassitt draws a Royals offense that has produced only 4, 3, 4, 8, 2 and 4 runs its last six games and owns a 29-23-1 under record on the road. Toronto, meanwhile, is 37-17 at Rogers Centre and a league-best 32-20-2 to the over at home, illustrating how often their bats show up in this park. Kenny thinks Bassitt’s pitch-mix plays well against a Kansas City lineup that lacks pop, so the Blue Jays should not need a huge number to cash. He added you could talk him into the under 8.5, but the money-line is his favorite position.

Kenny G recommended laying –140 with Toronto, projecting Chris Bassitt to right the ship after being “absolutely obliterated” by Baltimore. Bassitt still owns an 11-5 record and has historically posted a sub-3.30 ERA the start immediately following any outing in which he allowed 6+ runs. He emphasized Kansas City’s stagnant lineup—just two runs in Game 2 and a season-long bottom-five ISO—even with Seth Lugo (3.03 ERA) on the mound. Toronto’s bullpen has wobbled lately, but its 37-17 home record and MLB-best 32-20-2 to the over at Rogers Centre suggest enough run support. Kenny expects the Jays’ right-hand heavy order to exploit Lugo’s .346 wOBA allowed to righties and sees value before the market corrects toward –155/–160.

Brad Free Pick Dawgz played Chris Bassett over 4.5 strikeouts, citing Bassett’s drastic home/road splits. After an "arguably worst" road start in Baltimore, the veteran returns to Toronto where he typically posts a higher K-rate. Brad expects a bounce-back outing and at least five strikeouts.

Despite Kansas City swinging the bats well, The Bettor Mark is happy to lay –154 with Toronto, expecting Kevin Gausman to return and steady the Jays after their recent four-game slide. He believes Rogers Centre’s hitter-friendly backdrop and the Jays’ need for a bounce-back spot make the favorite the right side.

Kenny G said the only side he wants in this spot is Toronto at –154 because Kevin Gaussman is on the bump and the matchup sets up as a "get-right" series for a club that has under-performed expectations lately. He reminded listeners that the Jays are 32-20-2 to the over at home, which underscores how alive the offense can be in the dome when they’re seeing it well. Gaussman’s underlying numbers remain elite – a 31.4% strike-out rate and sub-3.00 SIERA – and the opponent has struggled to elevate against four-seam/ splitter combinations. Kenny is not touching the total of eight, but believes Gaussman plus the home crowd gives Toronto a clear pitching edge and makes the current money-line worth laying.

Kenny G urged bettors to back Toronto at –154, calling the series a classic "get-right" spot. Kevin Gausman (7-7, 3.82 ERA) just blanked Detroit for six innings with 10 strikeouts and has yet to face Kansas City, giving him a fresh look advantage. The Blue Jays boast MLB-best marks in batting average and OBP, and they are 37-17 at Rogers Centre with a 32-20-2 over record there. Kansas City counters with Michael Wacha (4-9, 3.53 ERA); despite three strong outings, the Royals went only 1-3 thanks to an offense that is still 28th in runs and 19th in average. Their bullpen has been good overall but has worn down lately, and the club is just 26-27 on the road. Kenny expects the Toronto pen to rebound after a rough Baltimore series and sees the superior lineup plus home dominance as more than enough to justify the price, recommending a Blue Jays moneyline play.
