Toronto Blue Jays vs. Kansas City Royals Prediction

I’m on the Blue Jays here. I get the case to be made for Kansas City after a big offensive showing on Friday, but I kind of wonder if they used up all their runs on Friday and now face a pitcher in Bieber who is really familiar with this lineup from his time in Cleveland and Bieber had a lot of success in the matchup. Noah Cameron got hit hard bit Toronto in his first start against them, and I think Toronto bounces back here. Give me the Jays.
