NY Yankees vs Kansas City Royals Prediction

The NY Yankees are getting the benefit of the doubt because they’re the Yankees, and they’re at home. However, the Royals and plus money is always worth a look simply because they’re one of the best teams in the league. Also, it’s fair to say Brady Singer has had a better season than Carlos Rodon. Two playoff teams, but the sharper pitcher is in the underdog role. I’m taking a shot with the Royals and the more favorable price.
