Who will win Royals vs Yankees today: Yankees -1.5 (+165)
Ryan Weathers doesnât need to be perfect today â he just needs to be better than Cole Ragans, and that bar isnât especially high.
Ragans walks nearly 15% of the batters he faces, and the Kansas City Royals bullpen has been leaking runs, posting a 6.08 ERA with 1.55 home runs allowed per nine innings.
The New York Yankeesâ lineup is deep enough to capitalize. Ben Rice and Aaron Judge are barreling the ball at elite rates, while Trent Grisham works counts as well as anyone in the lineup.
The moneyline price is solid, but the run line is where the real value lies.
