[sc:MLB240banner ]Toronto slashed Kansas City’s series lead to 3-2 with a dominant 7-1 victory in Game 5 of the ALCS. Marco Estrada was sensational for the Jays, pitching one-hit ball into the eighth inning to lead Toronto to the crucial victory. The Blue Jays will look to sustain the momentum from that huge win when they face the Royals in Game 6 later tonight.
Starting for Toronto in this must-win ballgame is David Price. He will take the mound for the Blue Jays after his collapse in Game 2, when he tossed six shutout innings and then allowed five runs in the seventh. The Royals, on the other hand, will have Yordano Ventura as their starting pitcher tonight. He allowed three runs on eight hits in 5.1 innings of action in Kansas City’s win over Toronto in Game 2.
The Royals are 4-1 against the Blue Jays at home this season.

Memphis Tigers vs. Tulsa Golden Hurricanes (8:00 PM ET)
Line: Memphis Tigers (-10.5) vs. Tulsa Golden Hurricanes (+10.5); total: 77.0 – view all NCAA Football lines
No. 18 Memphis maintained its perfect record this season with a stunning 37-24 victory over the Ole Miss Rebels. It was another convincing win for the Tigers who extended their winning streak to 13 games dating back to last season.
For the Tigers to stretch that unbeaten run against the Golden Hurricanes, they need quarterback Paxton Lynch to continue his stellar play. He threw for 384 yards and three touchdowns in that upset win over Ole Miss. He will be licking his chops at the prospect of facing a Tulsa secondary that’s allowing a whopping 276.7 yards passing yards per game this season, 107th in the entire FBS.
That being said, Tulsa will fancy its chances against Memphis as it has fared extremely well against the Tigers in the past. The Golden Hurricanes are 4-1 SU and ATS in their last five meetings with the Tigers.

Memphis wins, 41-27. Create a betting account now and bet on the best games for tonight.
