The Kansas City Royals will play the New York Yankees in Game 2 of their series at Yankee Stadium on Friday night.

The Kansas City Royals are 39-60 this season and have lost three games in a row. Kansas City lost Game 1 of this series by a score of 1-0 on Thursday night. The Kansas City pitching staff has a 4.65 ERA, a 1.45 WHIP, and a .264 opponent batting average this season. The Royals offense has scored 379 runs with a .246 batting average and a .309 on base percentage. Bobby Witt (questionable) is batting .258 with 14 home runs and 51 RBI’s for the Royals this season. The projected starter for Kansas City is Kris Bubic, who is 2-6 with a 5.53 ERA and a 1.65 WHIP over 68.1 innings pitched this season.

The New York Yankees are 67-33 this season and have lost two of their last three games. Prior to winning Game 1 of this series, New York lost both games played against the Mets. The New York pitching staff has a 3.14 ERA, a 1.10 WHIP, and a .218 opponent batting average. The Yankees offense has scored 526 runs with a .245 batting average and a .330 on base percentage. Aaron Judge is batting .293 with 39 home runs and 83 RBI’s for the Yankees this season. The projected starter for New York is Gerrit Cole, who is 9-3 with a 3.09 ERA and a 1.02 WHIP over 119.1 innings pitched this season.

Kansas City is 5-2 in their last 7 Friday games and 1-5 in their last 6 road games. The under is 6-0 in Kansas City’s last 6 games. New York is 17-5 in their last 22 Friday games and 42-14 in their last 56 home games. The over is 5-1 in New York’s last 6 home games. The over is 4-1-1 in these two teams last 6 head to head meetings in New York.

New York was able to sneak past the Royals in Game 1 of this series, scoring their only run on an Aaron Judge home run in the ninth inning. New York is a huge favorite in this game and for good reason. The Yankees have been very good this season and have only lost 14 of their last 56 home games. New York also has Gerrit Cole on the mound, who has a 3.09 ERA. I like the under in this game as I don’t think the Royals will muster much against Cole.
