Kansas City Royals vs NY Yankees Prediction

The NY Yankees are going to get the benefit of the doubt because of what they’ve done this season, and it doesn’t hurt to have Carlos Rodon on the mound. With that said, this is a letdown spot for the Yankees after coming off a Sunday night Game and having to Travel. We’re also getting a good Royals team at home in the underdog role with Seth Lugo on the mound. Lugo has been incredible this season and the Royals win when he pitches. The value is with the Royals and the plus money, and this feels like a statement series. Give me the Royals.
