Neither Renfroe's good night with the glove nor having scored two runs against Yankees ace Max Fried was enough for the Royals to win game 2, as a Yankees attack with 2 outs in the sixth inning, where Dominguez hit a bases-sweeping double, turned the score around, and once again the Yankees bullpen took charge until the end of the game, leaving the Royals with only 5 hits in a game where the Yankees defense did not record a single error.

This continues the Yankees' recent dominance over the Royals, who have now won six of their last seven games against each other, despite the fact that the Yankees haven't made more than four runs in their last four wins against Kansas City.

Now the Yankees are looking to complete the sweep on Wednesday when Clarke Schmidt returns from the injured list. He's coming off a pair of starts in Double-A, and although it's confirmed he'll start Friday's game, he won't officially come off the injured list until then.

Kansas City Royals - New York Yankees Key Points

  1. Royals' collective pitching ERA is 4th best in MLB
  2. Chisholm's AVG to start 2025 is 175

Our Kansas City Royals vs New York Yankees Prediction

Judge's home run production has been down compared to last year, but he had a good series against the Royals, going 4-for-7 in the first two games. It was a busy week for him, as Soto said he needs a bat like Judge's hitting ahead of him for the Mets, where he was also chosen as the captain of Team USA for the upcoming WBC. Bubic, the Royals' starter, allowed two home runs in each of his two previous starts against the Yankees. Our prediction for Yankees vs Royals is: Yankees -1.

Prediction:

 

Yankees -1.
