Our New York Yankees vs Kansas City Royals Prediction
Fearless Forecast: The Yankees destroy the Royals 8-4
Expect the Bronx Bombers to continue their offensive assault on the Royals in Game 3. New York has generated 5.7 runs per game on a .226 BA over the last five games. Although their 5.40 ERA over that five-game stretch is certainly worrisome, Ryan Weathers gives the Yankees a starter capable of piling up strikeouts and retiring batters. Weathers surrendered five runs in a 1-7 loss to the Angels, but I am confident the lefty will be the difference maker in this match since the Royals are averaging 1.8 runs per game against lefties this season.
New York is 10-0 in their last 10 games against Kansas City. In these 10 wins, the Yankees won by at least two runs seven times. A promising trend for bettors who back the Yankees to cover the -1.5 run handicap.
Our betting prediction for the Kansas City Royals vs. the New York Yankees: The Yankees -1.5 runs.
