Royals vs. Blue Jays: Public Bettors Strongly Backing Toronto

Garcia doubles in loss to Tigers
Maikel Garcia went 1-for-4 with a double in loss to the Tigers. It wasn’t a tremendous performance from Garcia, but the Royals had just four hits on the day. The double gave Garcia a hit in eight of his last 10 games to up his slash line to .223/.276/.384. If he was dropped after his cold stretch, you should be adding him because the 24-year-old remains a talented hitter who will play every day in Kansas City.
Kirk hits solo home run in win vs. Dodgers
Alejandro Kirk went 3-for-3 with a solo home run in a win over the Dodgers on Sunday. Well, that was sorely needed. The home run was actually Kirk’s softest hit ball of the day, leaving the bat at 99.2 mph while he also registered a 103.3 mph single and another 112.9 mph single. The big fly was Kirk’s first of the season, and he’s slashing just .206/.297/.270 with 10 RBI. Now that Danny Jansen is back, Kirk will need more performances like this to keep holding onto regular playing time.
