Kansas City Royals vs New York Yankees Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 6/12/25, 4:32 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 6/12/25 at 9:05 PM in MLB Picks

The Yankees haven't had any problems in their visit to Kansas City. Game 2 of the Yankees-Royals series also saw the Bronx get an early start, continuing the momentum of their Game 1 rout against the Royals. The Yankees ended up opening Game 2 as early as the second inning, an inning that seemed to seal the day since the Yankees' victory occurred on the betting sites. The Yankees scored five runs in the top of the second inning. Volpe hit a force-run homer that drove in Bellinger, Goldschmidt got an RBI single before Wells hit an RBI double, Rice drove in Goldschmidt, and to cap off the inning, Judge hit his 25th home run of the season, scoring the Yankees' fifth run early in the second inning.

On the pitching side, Clarke Schimdt pitched six solid innings, allowing just two hits and striking out seven. The Yankees starters have had a good run, as Fried also had a strong game in Kansas City. On the other side, left-hander Bubic, who didn't have great numbers against the Yankees, was once again unable to contain the New York offense. After that second poor inning, he managed to finish pitching 4.1 innings.
