Kansas City Royals at Toronto Blue Jays prediction, pick for Friday 8/1/25

It feels a little odd to group both these teams together as a “buyer” at the trade deadline, but that’s exactly what happened. That said, one club’s postseason outlook remains quite a bit better than the other’s. The Blue Jays salvaged a four-game series against the Orioles on Wednesday with a much-needed comeback victory to […]

How’s that […]

Atlanta Braves at Kansas City Royals prediction, pick for Wednesday 7/30/25

Atlanta Braves at Kansas City Royals prediction, pick for Wednesday 7/30/25

I think it’s safe to say that last night was the absolute low-point for the Braves’ already painfully depressing season.

This is the last game these two teams will play before the MLB Trade Deadline, which likely means this is the last game these two teams will play as currently constructed. The Red Sox will be buyers. It’s been another strange season in Boston, yet after all the ups and downs, the Red Sox sit […]
