Kansas City Royals vs New York Yankees Prediction & Picks - MLB
by Stephen Abiola | in MLB Picks
New York Yankees will host their bitter American League rivals, Kansas City Royals, in Game 1 of this best-of-five series on Saturday. The Yankees are the No. 1 seed in the AL after besting everyone in the division this year. They will come into this matchup feeling fresh and energetic, thanks to the 7-day off since their last match. Kansas City, on the other hand, is the No. 5 seed. They defeated the Orioles twice during the Wild Card round to progress to this year’s playoff tournament. However, they may have some attacking concerns after scoring only two runs during the Wild Card round. Thankfully, their pitching staff was impressive, conceding just one run against the Orioles.
