Royals vs Yankees Prediction & Pick
With the Yankees looking for the series sweep today, I expect them to come out swinging and their offense should continue to stay productive, especially against Royals pitcher Jordan Lyles, who owns a 1-11 record and 6.05 ERA this season.
Granted the Yankees are sending Luis Severino to the hill who has had his own set of struggles so far this season. He went through two very rough starts against the Cardinals and Orioles where he surrendered seven earned runs in each outing, and inflated his ERA. Then, in his last start, Severino went 6 innings and surrendered just one earned run against a talented Angels lineup. That is the Severino I expect to see at home on Sunday agai nst a bad Royals teams.
Final Score Prediction:'Yankees: 6 | Royals: 2
Royals vs Yankees Best Bet
With Severino coming off the momentum from his last start, we're going to take the Yankees to grab the early lead in this one.
New York covered this first five innings spread in game 1 and was tied after five innings in game 2. Going up against Lyles, who has struggled all season, and has been even worse on the road, with a 7.36 ERA, the Yankees are in a great position to take the lead early on here an d never look back.
