Tips and predictions for the Royals at the Yankees

forecast

Yankees 3, Royals 2

Money line

The Yankees managed 3 damn hits on Tuesday and I expect them to be a little better in this game. We have a great pitching matchup but the Yankees have a massive advantage in the bullpen. The Yankees bullpen is 10th with a 3.80 ERA and the Royals are 25th with a 4.52 ERA.

Take the YANKEE-145.

Running Line/Against the Spread

I don’t like the RL here, and I’m also staying away from pitcher props. Both starters have 10K potential, but both have had problems with walks recently. Ragans has 10 walks in his last 4 GS, and Gil has 15 walks.

HAPPEN.

Over/Under

The temperature is forecast to be 24 degrees with a 13 km/h wind blowing from right-center. The Royals are 2-7-1 O/U in their last 10 games and the Yankees are 6-4. The over in this matchup this season is 3-3.

With two horses on the hill and the wind blowing in, I take the UNDER 8 (-110).
