Facing elimination, the Kansas City Royals will head into Game 4 of their ALDS with the New York Yankees at Kauffmann Stadium trying to force a Game 5. The Royals found themselves on the brink of elimination after dropping a close 3-2 loss to the Yankees in the pivotal Game 3 on their home field. The Yankees stormed to a 2-0 lead behind a double by Giancarlo Stanton in the 4th and a sacrifice fly by Juan Soto in the 5th. Kansas City knotted the score back to 2-2 with RBIs from Kyle Isbel and second baseman Michael Massey. With the score still tied in the 8th inning, Stanton came through with a big home run to retake the lead, 3-2. Yankees closer Luke Weaver provided the finishing touch, earning the final three outs of Game 3.

Our New York Yankees vs Kansas City Royals Prediction
Giancarlo Stanton came alive in Game 3, driving two important runs for the Yankees to grab the crucial win. Trying to avoid a Game 5, the Yankees will send ace hurler Gerrit Cole to the mound on Thursday. Cole dodged a bullet in the Yankees’ 6-5 win in Game 1 after he allowed seven hits and three earned runs in 5.0 innings. It seems New York’s trust in their ace pitcher hasn’t waned following that disastrous showing a few days ago. The Royals will counter with Michael Wacha, who has pitched through some elimination games in his career. The Royals have now lost their last seven games at home and 1-4 in their last 5 home games vs. the Yankees. It’s going to be an uphill battle for the Royals to bounce back from this series, especially now that the Yankees are steadily getting contributions from other sources outside Aaron Judge. The key for the Yankees is to start strong. If New York can score a couple runs against Lugo in the first three innings, I believe the pressure will be too great for the Royals to overcome. Our betting prediction for New York Yankees vs. Kansas City Royals: Back the Yankees to cover -1.5 runs, +110, at BetMGM.
