Royals vs Yankees Prediction 

New York was able to run away with the blowout win in game one of this series on Tuesday night, and they have scored at least seven runs in four straight games. The Yankees are 19-13 on the road this year, while the Royals are 19-14 at home. Kansas City continues to be one of the lowest-scoring teams in the MLB, and they have scored two runs or fewer in three of their last four games. The Royals are starting Bubic, who has allowed one earned run or fewer in five straight starts. New York is going with Schmidt, who has allowed three earned runs or fewer in five straight outings. I was on the under in game one of this series, which I lost, but I am going back to it here. Both of these pitchers have been decent, and I don’t trust KC to score more than two or three runs. Take the under here.
