Kansas City Royals (22-33) and New York Yankees (33-22) will wrap up their three-game series on Wednesday night at Kauffman Stadium. The Royals are staring at a possible series sweep after giving up their first two games. They were totally overwhelmed by the Yankees on Tuesday night after losing 1-15, leaving them 3-7 in the last 10 matches. This was also their 13th straight defeat at the hands of the Yanks.
The Yankees, meanwhile, opened this series with a cagey 3-4 win on Monday. However, they regrouped to blow out the Royals on Tuesday and improve their away record to 16-13. Cody Bellinger, Amed Rosario, Anthony Volpe, Trent Grisham, and Jazz Chisholm Jr. delivered six homers. Cam Schlittler also had a great evening, allowing just one run in six innings. They’ll be confident of completing the sweep tonight, with oddsmakers listing them as the -160 favorites.

Our Kansas City Royals vs New York Yankees Prediction
The Yankees delivered a dominant performance on Tuesday, with nine of their starters getting two or more hits. While we don’t expect them to get another 15-run blowout win, their roster quality should see them through in Game 3. Gerrit Cole will be handed his first start this season after showing a strong performance in his last outing. Cole will want to command his zone early and limit Kansas City's contributions. The hosts will counter his impact with Noah Cameron, who is 2-3 this season with a 4.72 ERA. The lefty looked sharp in his last assignment, allowing zero runs on four hits. However, keeping out the Yankees after their recent explosion will be challenging.
