Heading into today's game against Kansas City, the Blue Jays have a record of just 2-3. This places the team 4th in the AL East. Toronto will be looking to move their record on the road to above .500, as they are currently 2-3 away from home.

Last season, Alek Manoah appeared in 31 games for the Blue Jays, finishing with an overall record of 16-7 and an ERA of 2.24. His success last year can be attributed to his ability to limit batters' power numbers, as he allowed a slugging percentage of just .314.

Toronto's offense comes into this game averaging 4.8 runs per game, placing them near the MLB average. The Blue Jays offense comes into this matchup ranked 2nd in the league, at .294.

Although the team is hitting for a high batting average, they have struggled to generate power, ranking 29th in the league, at 2 home runs. Up to this point, Toronto has been one of the MLB's better teams at getting on base, ranking 3rd at .372.

With 26 appearances for the Royals last season, Zack Greinke ended with an ERA of 3.68 and an overall record of 4-9. Greinke ended the season with a slugging percentage allowed of .417, which included allowing 14 home runs.

This year, runs have been hard to come by for Kansas City's offense, as they are the 29th ranked scoring team at 2.8. Through 5 games, the Royals have struggled to string together hits, ranking 30th in team batting average (.170).
