Kansas City Royals vs New York Yankees Prediction

I’ll try the Royals. Lugo is looking pretty good over his last two starts. In that pair he’s got just two earned on 12 hits and two walks in 14.0 total innings, going 1-0. As for Stroman, he’s coming off 3.2 innings and five earned runs in a loss to the Rangers but was pitching fairly well in two starts prior (a combined five earned in 12.0 innings).

On Monday the Royals had a few bad innings, two of them coming late. Kansas City was up 4-3 by the middle of the seventh but the offense couldn’t keep pace outside of Salvador Perez’s effort. The Royals need a better game on both sides Tuesday.
