The Yankees' Achilles' heel again appears to be their archrival, the Red Sox. They were in much better shape for the season's first baseball classic but ended up losing the series. The Yankees won Game 1, but the Red Sox took down Games 2 and 3, giving up one home run in Game 2 and another five in Game 2. Carlos Rodón was punished by the Red Sox. However, Judge responded with two home runs of his own in the 7-11 loss, and with 23 HRs this season, Judge equals Ohtani's career mark and is three home runs behind Cal Raleigh.
Then the Yankees and Royals meet in a new series, starting Tuesday, this time in Kansas City. Earlier this season, the Yankees swept the Royals in April, winning all three games of the series by exactly four runs in all and being favorites at odds of -140 or shorter.
The Yankees have had a recent dominance over the Royals; since their 2024 playoff matchup, the Yankees have won 8 of their last 10 games against the Royals.
