New York Yankees vs Kansas City Royals Betting Preview

As we approach June 10, 2024, the Kansas City Royals and New York Yankees are set to clash in an American League matchup at Kauffman Stadium. Both teams are having stellar seasons, with the Royals boasting a 39-26 record and the Yankees leading the way at 45-21.

Kansas City will send right-handed pitcher Brady Singer to the mound. Singer has been a reliable arm for the Royals this season, and he'll face a potent Yankees offense that ranks 5th in MLB in team batting average and 2nd in team home runs. The Royals' offense is no slouch either, ranking 5th in team batting average and also excelling on the basepaths with a 5th place ranking in stolen bases.

New York's left-hander Carlos Rodon will be on the hill, bringing his #56 Power Ranking status according to THE BAT X, the leading MLB projection system. Rodon will face a Royals lineup that has been particularly hot lately, with Adam Frazier leading the charge over the past week, hitting .417 with a 1.295 OPS in his last five games.

Aaron Judge has been on fire for the Yankees, posting a .474 batting average and a 1.643 OPS in his last six games. Judge's dominance at the plate has been highlighted by 9 hits, 7 runs, 10 RBIs, and 2 home runs over the last week. His recent surge will be a key factor as the Yankees look to maintain their strong form.

The betting markets and advanced projections both suggest a close contest, with the Yankees having a slight edge. The Yankees' current moneyline is -130, implying a 54% win probability, while THE BAT X also projects a 54% win probability for New York. Kansas City’s implied win probability stands at 46%, but their offense’s current form could make this game tighter than expected.

Overall, this matchup promises to be a thrilling start to the series, with both teams boasting high-powered offenses and reliable starting pitchers. Betting markets and projections align closely, favoring the Yankees, but don’t count out the Royals, especially with their recent offensive surge.

Quick Takes New York Yankees:

The New York Yankees have 3 batters in their projected lineup today with a high (i.e. over 27%) underlying K% (per the leading projection system, THE BAT X) (Trent Grisham, Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton).

• Teams that have multiple high-strikeout hitters will make it much easier for the opposing pitcher to record strikeouts

Quick Takes Kansas City Royals:

The Kansas City Royals bullpen projects as the 4th-worst in the game, per the leading projection system (THE BAT).

• Most bettors only consider the starting pitcher, but a weak bullpen sneakily creates an easier matchup for the opposing offense and boosts a game's runs.
