Despite a rough patch in late August, the Royals have shown improvement in their pitching, with an impressive ERA of 2.16 in their last six games. Starting pitcher Seth Lugo had an outstanding performance, allowing only three hits and recording ten strikeouts in seven innings. Although the team has struggled with their bullpen earlier in the season, they managed to not allow any hits in the final two innings yesterday. With left-handed pitcher Cole Ragans set to take the mound on Wednesday, the Royals will be facing a chance to make progress in the American League Central standings. With a strong offense and defense, the team has a power ranking of 18 and is currently ranked 10th in offense and 8th in defense, with a record of 80-66 this season.
New York Yankees Analysis
The New York Yankees suffered a 5-0 loss to the Kansas City Royals yesterday, aiming to overtake the Cleveland Guardians for the top spot in the American League. Currently tied with a .572 winning percentage, a win today could propel them to the sole leader in the league. The Yankees have shown dominance this season, ranking second in runs and ninth in ERA. However, they have struggled in their last five home games with an ERA of 5.80. Starting pitcher Marcus Stroman exemplifies this trend with an ERA of 5.76 in his last five home starts. Despite this, the Yankees will have one of their best pitchers, Luis Gil, starting against the Royals on Wednesday. Gil boasts a record of 13-6 with an ERA of 3.24 and 151 strikeouts this season. The Yankees rank 11th in power rankings, #2 for offense, #10 for defense, and hold an overall record of 83-62. Kansas City went 1-2 in their last three matchups against the Yankees.
Yankees Expected to Dominate Royals in Series with Favorable Trends
The Kansas City Royals' recent performance as underdogs on the road has been lacking with a 1-5 record in their last 6 games. Conversely, the New York Yankees have shown strength as a home favorite with a 9-2 record in their last eleven matchups against the Royals. Additionally, the Royals have struggled on the road this season with a 1-4 record in game three of a series following a loss in the first game and a win in the second. Considering Luis Gil's consistent performance this season for the Yankees, it is likely that New York will secure a series victory, positioning them favorably in the American League. Given these trends, I recommend taking the New York Yankees on the money line for this matchup.
