#MLB Free Pick from Mike Lundin
(MLB) Toronto vs. Kansas City, 08/05/2016 4:15 PM, Score: 4 - 3
Money Line: -130.00 Toronto (Away)
Result: Win
Play: Toronto Blue Jays
Rating: 5*

The Toronto Blue Jays will travel to Kansas City for the opener of a three-game series against the reeling Royals Friday night. The Jays have won eight of their past 11, and this looks like a good spot to back Toronto.

The Royals have dropped 10 of their past 13 games and send Dillon Gee (3-5, 4.66) to the mound tonight. The 30 year old right-hander is 0-3 in his last five outings and he's been reached for nine runs on 17 hits through 11 innings of work in his last two starts alone.

The Jays turn to Francisco Liriano (6-11, 5.46 ERA) who'll make his team debut since coming over from Pittsburgh. Liriano labored through his last two starts with the Pirates, but I think the change of scenery will do him well. He's 6-5 with a 4.55 ERA in 17 games (14 starts) against the Royals, but we can note that they're 0-7 in their last seven games vs. a left-handed starter.

Look for Toronto to get to Gee early and then take advantage of Kansas City's previously so feared bullpen which is struggling with Luke Hochevar and closer Wade Davis on the disabled list.
