Kansas City at New York

A pair of promising young pitchers face each other in the Royals-Yankees game with Noah Cameron (1-0, 3.94 ERA) taking on Will Warren (1-0, 2.45). The Yankees have owned the Royals, beating them nine consecutive times. But that has inflated the price, making the Royals a good bargain. Cameron finished fourth in AL Rookie of the Year voting last season, posting a 2.99 ERA in 24 starts. He is a southpaw. The Yankees are lefty-heavy, especially when playing at Yankee Stadium, trying to take advantage of a short right field porch. So Cameron will have an edge there as the Yankees are 2-4 vs. lefties this season and their right-handed platoon players have yet to produce. Warren doesn't go deep into games, and the Yankees have been vulnerable in middle relief. New York is just 27th in batting average, hurt by the slow start of Jazz Chisholm, who is batting .174 and has yet to hit a home run. Take the Royals.
