Our Kansas City Royals vs New York Yankees Prediction
New York is the heavy favorite in this game; however, the under looks to be the best betting option. Going back to the impressive home/away splits for the starting pitchers, Warren has made three away starts this season, having allowed five earned runs over 16.0 innings. Wacha, on the other hand, has made five home starts and has allowed 10 runs (nine earned) over 33.1 innings.
On top of that, seven of the last eight games for the Royals have gone under the total, while the Yankees have seen each of their last four games do the same. Therefore, because the starting pitchers for both teams have been consistent this season, our Kansas City Royals vs New York Yankees prediction is: Under 9 Total Runs.All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
