Royals vs Yankees Prediction
You can talk yourself into the Royals and the big plus money as they’re a respectable team, and Cameron has been great through 31.2 innings, allowing 15 hits and three runs. Cameron has allowed three runs and 14 hits in his last 25.1 innings. There’s value in the plus money. The problem is the Yankees are the better team overall, and Fried looks like a CY Young candidate with his 1.78 ERA and 0.94 WHIP through 81 innings. With a .196 allowed batting average on the season, it doesn’t get much better than what Fried has done. I’m not getting in front of that. Give me the Yankees and the RL for max betting value.
