Alek Manoah Set To Face Royals Tuesday
2 years agoToronto Blue Jays starting pitcher Alek Manoah will be the starter on Tuesday night as the Blue Jays continue their series in Kansas City against the Royals. A matchup against the Royals should be a favorable matchup for Manoah, who despite being one of the best starting pitchers in baseball, is susceptible to giving up home runs on his fastball. So far this season, the Royals are 28th in the MLB in home runs (34) and 28th in the league in slugging percentage (.356). Only the Oakland Athletics and the Detroit Tigers have been worse at hitting for power through the first two months.
