Yesterday’s Results for Kansas City Royals vs New York Yankees

VW'S MLB AL DOG OF THE MONTH +2 SIDES

Analysis: Backing the New York Yankees, as they're in a good spot to let loose offensively and roll past the Kansas City Royals in this series opener. The Yankees have split their last four games, alternating wins and losses since Monday, and if the pattern holds true, they're due for a win. Their offense is fully capable of erupting, and this might be the right staff to do it against. The Royals have lost four in a row and seven of nine, and in that span, are allowing nearly four runs per game. The worst part is their offense, as they have a team batting average of .183 the last nine games. In those same games, their staff ERA is 3.86. They're not giving up a ton of runs, and have limited the home runs to just five in nine outings, but their offense is doing them no favors. The Yankees, though they've lost four of their last six, are averaging 4.8 runs per game in that span and have stroked 11 home runs along the way. New York has won eight straight meetings (perfect 8-0 since 2024, a 100% ANGLE), and five of those wins have been by two or more runs. The combined final score is 35-14. All Yankees in this one tonight.
