The Yankees have defeated the Royals 12 consecutive times, with the last one coming yesterday in record fashion. Every New York starter had at least two hits for the Yankees in their 15-1 rout. That had not happened in Yankee history. The Yankees aren't likely to win by 14 runs again, but they should prove victorious in a pitching matchup of Gerrit Cole vs. lefty Noah Cameron. Looking like his old dominant self, Cole allowed just two hits over six scoreless innings against Tampa Bay last Friday night. That was his first major league game since Game 5 of the 2024 World Series against the Dodgers. New York also leads the majors with 82 homers. That is 31 more home runs than the Royals have hit. The Yankees have gone UNDER in 10 of their past 14 road games and 5 of their past 6 overall. Both have been UNDER teams this season as New York is 30-23 UNDER and Kansas City is 31-24 UNDER. The Yankees have allowed only 12 runs in six games. The Royals have failed to score more than three runs in eight of 10 games while going UNDER in seven of them. Take the UNDER and the Yankees.
