We've reset the Play of the Day with fresh bankrolls and turned it into a yearly competition. Our three sports writers have restarted with $10,000 bankrolls to continue using on odds from the South Point.

Toronto Blue Jays at Kansas City Royals over-7.5 runs at plus-105: $600 to win $630

I’m pretty sure that Toronto is going to win and send this to a Game 7, but I’m even more confident that we’re going to get to a double-digit run total tonight.

The Blue Jays’ offense isn’t going to be as quiet as it was in Games 1 and 2 at Kauffman Stadium, and the Royals have scored at least five runs in seven of their 10 playoff games so far.

As strange as it would have sounded at the trade deadline, Kansas City really doesn’t want this series to be in Johnny Cueto’s hands on Saturday. They’ll treat this as a must-win, and it’s going to lead to enough runs to get us comfortably over the number.

Current Standings (as of July 1): Brewer (18-15, $10,730), Bern (14-15, $10,200), Keefer (11-24-2, $4,591)

Lifetime standings: 2014-15 Champion Bern (95-88-1), Keefer (95-108-4), Brewer (87-102-2)
