Kansas City Royals DFS SPIN
Nelson Velázquez went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer on Wednesday against the White Sox. Velázquez has been on an absolute tear. He took Touki Toussaint deep in the fourth inning for a two-run shot. It was his third consecutive game with a home run and fourth in his last six starts. The 24-year-old is hitting .250/.304/.644 with 12 homers and 23 RBI across just 112 plate appearances.
Toronto Blue Jays DFS SPIN
Davis Schneider launched a solo homer on Wednesday in the Blue Jays’ loss to the Athletics. Schneider took Athletics reliever Dany Jiménez deep in the eighth inning for his seventh round-tripper in just 20 games since being called up last month from Triple-A Buffalo. The 24-year-old rookie infielder also drew a pair of walks in the low-scoring contest.

Royals vs. Blue Jays MLB BETTING PREDICTION
Give me the over. Over their last 10 games, the Blue Jays own a wRC+ of 145, which is bested by only the Astros’ mark of 186 over the past week. They should T-off on Snider tonight and a Kansas City bullpen that has struggled. While the Royals’ offense has been average, they should be able to knock around Kikuchi enough to get this total over.
