The last game of the series between New York Yankees and Kansas City Royals will be played next Wednesday, September 11th at 05:05 pm Central Time, being relevant to note that both teams are forced to look up for winning as much games as possible to keep their current competitive spots in their own Divisions.

In this regard, New York Yankees are having a very productive season, managing to keep in the top spot of the AL East Division. Nonetheless, they only are 1.5 games above Baltimore Orioles, so relaxing isn’t an option for them in this last part of the regular season. With that in mind, Juan Soto and Aaron Judge must try to show a more consistent performance, because even when their season numbers are impressive, they’ve only scored 5 runs during their last 7 games.

On Kansas City Royals’ case, this team is having a remarkable season, but it hasn’t been enough to reach the top spot of the AL Central Division as they still are 3.5 games behind Cleveland Guardians. Additionally, they’re also facing some offensive issues as their best player, Bobby Witt Jr. has only been able to score 2 runs during his last 7 played games.
