Before making any Royals vs. Yankees picks, you NEED to check out the MLB predictions from the SportsLine Projection Model.
The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every MLB game 10,000 times, and it is 284-243 on top-rated MLB money-line picks since the start of the 2021 season, returning over $400 for $100 players. This is the same model that pegged the 2021 Atlanta Braves at 10-1 as one of three best bets to win it all last season. Anybody who has followed it has seen profitable returns.
The model knows New York shortstop Isiah Kiner-Falefa is a solid defender who owns great feel and awareness on the diamond. Kiner-Falefa doesn't have much power but can make consistent contact with the ball due to his quick hands and bat speed. The 27-year-old also has good speed and can steal a few bases. He ranks tied for 16th in the league in stolen bases (14). He's currently hitting .275 with 31 RBIs.
