The Royals are entering this series off a loss and won their 3-game series against the Seattle Mariners 2-1 in their last series. They enter this game with a 39-27 record overall and have a home record of 24-11. This is the 2nd game of a 4-game series with the Yankees on Tuesday with the 1st game of this series still to be played on Monday. Their offense ranks 7th in the MLB with a .730 OPS. Seth Lugo is their starting pitcher on Monday while Brady Singer is making his start in this game on Tuesday. He is 4-2 with a 2.76 ERA this season.

In his last MLB regular season start, he allowed 2 earned runs, 1 homer, and 1 BB with 2 strikeouts on 9 hits through 3.2 innings played against the Cleveland Guardians.

The current betting odds have the Royals listed as a slight underdog in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Royals have looked good in their games this season with their 39-27 record overall which has them in 2nd place of the AL Central and fighting with the Guardians for 1st place. They haven't looked good in their road games this year, but they have been a completely different team in their home games, going 24-11 in those. Meanwhile, the Yankees have also looked great in their games this season with their 46-21 record overall which has them in 1st place of the AL East with one of the best records in the entire MLB. The Yankees just cooled off a bit in their last series though, losing their 3-game series against the Dodgers at home, and the Royals have had a really hot offense in their games lately. The Royals can really take advantage of the Yankees in this game since their offense has been hot lately, and they are going to get a lot of help from their pitching staff too. The Royals are going with Singer in this game and he has been a solid starter for them with his 4-2 record and 2.76 ERA. He is coming off another good start in his last one and has been really consistent this season. The Yankees struggled against better pitching in their last series against the Dodgers, and it doesn't help that they have Stroman starting in this game either. Stroman is 5-2 with a 3.04 ERA this season, but he just gave up 5 earned runs in his last start and that will be trouble in a game like this with the Royals putting up a lot of runs on offense lately. The best way to place a bet here is on the Royals to win this game.
