They have won three of their last four games, including a 1-0 win over the Braves where they became just the second team in MLB history to record a shutout using nine pitchers. The Royals are among several teams vying for one of the three AL wildcard spots with two months left in the season. Lefty Noah Cameron will start on Saturday against the Blue Jays, with a 5-4 record and impressive statistics this season. Despite key injuries to several players, the Royals remain competitive in their pursuit of a playoff spot.

Toronto Blue Jays

The Toronto Blue Jays have maintained their lead in the AL East, despite losing four of their last five games. They were able to avoid a sweep by the Orioles with a 9-8 win on Wednesday, led by Myles Straw's three-run homer. The Jays currently hold a four-game lead over the Yankees and a five-game lead over the Red Sox. Veteran pitcher Max Scherzer will take the mound on Saturday, looking to help the Blue Jays maintain their position in the standings. Despite some key injuries, the Blue Jays have been successful in recent games and will look to continue their momentum against the Royals.

Max Scherzer to Lead Blue Jays Against Royals in Saturday Showdown

The Toronto Blue Jays are set to rely on veteran pitcher Max Scherzer for their upcoming game on Saturday. Scherzer recently demonstrated his skill and experience by striking out 11 batters in seven innings during a previous game against Detroit. However, it may be challenging for the 41-year-old to repeat this level of performance. He will face off against the Kansas City Royals' pitcher Cameron, who has impressed with a 1.80 ERA in six road starts and a 2-1 record. The Royals have been performing well as a team, winning four out of Cameron's last five starts. Meanwhile, the Blue Jays have been struggling, losing four of their last five games leading up to Friday night. Considering these factors, it may be wise to choose the Royals with the money line bet.
