Kansas City Royals vs Toronto Blue Jays Prediction, Odds and Picks for Sunday, 08/03/25

The Kansas City Royals will look to bounce back from Saturday’s loss to the Toronto Blue Jays as they aim to secure a series win. The Blue Jays held the Royals to just 2 runs, which is well below their average of 5.3 runs per game in their last 13 games. However, that’s great news for the Blue Jays — as they’ve struggled with their pitching lately, posting a 5.43 ERA over their last 15 games. 

Seth Lugo will take the mound for the Royals, entering with a 8-5 record and 3.03 ERA. For the Blue Jays, Chris Bassitt gets the nod. He 11-5 with a 4.24 ERA on the season. The Royals have the offensive tools to put up runs and Bassitt has looked shaky recently, posting a 5.06 ERA over his last 3 starts despite going 2-1. Interestingly enough, Lugo hasn’t been sharp either in his last 3 outings, going 2-0 with a 5.09 ERA. At the end of the day, the Blue Jays haven’t done enough to convince me their pitching issues are behind them. Look for the Royals to score a few runs against Bassitt early on and take advantage of a weak Toronto bullpen, making Kansas City my best bet of the day.
