The Blue Jays scored a total of 31 runs in a 3-0 sweep against the Royals back in April and KC righty Brad Keller (4-5, 3.57 ERA) was tagged with one run on four hits in 0 2/3 innings out of the bullpen. Keller is 3-4 with a 4.09 ERA in 12 turns since becoming a starter in late May, but Royals are just 4-8 on those games and he has given up six runs on 12 hits with six walks in 12 1/3 innings in his last two starts, both Royals losses. KC is a pathetic 16-42 at home, Blue Jays are 19-7 in their last 26 games vs. a team with a winning % below .400.

The Cardinals are now 16-9 since the managerial change and are throwing their ace tonight. Miles Mikolas owns a substantial advantage over journeyman southpaw Timmy Milone. The Cardinals bullpen work has improved lately and that area earns them a check mark over the Washington relief unit. The Nats have late inning issues with Doolittle being joined on the DL by Herrera. Washington has been pretty bad on the road for some time, just 8-18 in their last 26. Off the disastrous finish at Wrigley.
