Blue Jays vs. Royals Prediction and Odds for Monday, June 6 (Look to Over)

The Toronto Blue Jays continue to look for consistency after trading blows with the Minnesota Twins over the weekend, traveling to Kansas City for an early week series against the Royals.

Toronto's offense is starting to round into form after struggling early in May, can the Jays knock around a porous Royals pitching rotation and pad their record? Here are the odds from WynnBET Sportsbook:

Blue Jays vs. Royals Prediction and Pick

Since May 15, the Blue Jays have turned it on and are starting to hit to their potential, second in baseball in wRC+ and on-base percentage. After struggling relative to expectation through the first six weeks of the season, we are starting to see the talent in the Toronto lineup as they destroy pitchers at the dish.

Toronto does very well against lefties, third in on-base percentage against southpaws and will find success against Daniel Lynch, Royals starter. The second-year starter struggles with walks, more than four per nine innings and has a WHIP (Walks, Hits per Inning Pitched) greater than 1.5, meaning that there is always trouble on the base paths.

With all that in mind, Toronto is a considerable favorite at -180, so I'm going to look towards the over as the Blue Jays have a middling bullpen and Ross Stripling hasn't been great, posting an ERA of 4.22 with an average WHIP of 1.281. Since May 15, the Royals are above league average in wRC+, meaning they are generating a decent share of run scoring chances.

I can't trust the Blue Jays as big favorites, but I think we are in for a high scoring affair with two offenses seeing the ball well.

LEAN: Over 9.5 (+100)
