The current betting odds have not been listed for this game yet. The Yankees have not been playing well in their recent games but they still have the best record in the MLB and have one of the best offenses as well with their lineup. They have the Royals here who have been one of the worst teams in the MLB all season and this should be a nice bounce back series for the Yankees at home. They have Taillon starting here and he has been great all season as he has been very consistent, not allowing many runs in his starts and the Royals have struggled on offense all season. The Royals have Singer starting here and he has been alright this season but has been slipping up in his recent starts and he cannot afford to slip up here with this Yankees lineup. The Yankees need some wins after this rough stretch and this is a great series for them to have at home and bounce back in. The best way to place a bet here is on the Yankees to win this game on the runline.
