Stephen Nover's MLB Game of the Week
(MLB) Toronto vs. Kansas City,
Money Line: -128.00 Toronto (Away)
Result: Loss
Money Line: -128.00 Toronto (Away)
Result: Loss
The Blue Jays have the superior offense - having led the league in runs and homers - and the superior starting pitcher going.
The price, no pun intended, is low enough to back Toronto.
The number is low because Toronto starter David Price is 0-7 lifetime in the playoffs. Yet he has a highly respectable 1.14 ratio. His teams have backed him with barely two runs per game support.
That won't be the case here with Toronto's offense and facing Yordano Ventura, who has been less than stellar in the playoffs. Ventural has allowed 22 base runners in his last 12 1/3 innings and has a 1.78 WHIP during the postseason.
Toronto is 5-1 in Price's last 6 road starts.
