The New York Yankees continue their weekend series against the Kansas City Royals this afternoon, who look to snap a five-game losing streak.
Kansas City’s offense has been virtually non-existent during the skid, and I don’t see that changing today in my Royals vs. Yankees prediction.
Read the full analysis below in my MLB picks for Saturday, April 18.
Who will win Royals vs Yankees today: Yankees moneyline (-170)
The Kansas City Royals have been abysmal at the plate this season, ranking 29th in runs scored (67) and 26th in team batting average (.219).
The visitors enter Saturday with a 2-8 record over their last 10 games while scoring two runs or fewer in eight of those outings.
New York Yankees starter Will Warren won’t make things easy on the Royals today, either. The right-hander has a stingy 2.45 ERA over his first four outings, holding opponents to two earned runs in three of four games.
The Yankees will get it done at home today.
