Yankees vs. Royals Prediction

Both teams have rookie pitchers on the mound, but Poteet had a strong outing against one of the top teams in the league. Offensively, the Yanks have been dominant with their performance, scoring 20 runs in the last three games.

Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, and Anthony Volpe have performed incredibly well. The Bronx Bombers have a decent bullpen to support Poteet. If the offense continues their hot-hitting streak, the Yanks could easily take out the Royals.

Altavilla will be pitching against a powerful offense. The Royals will need to provide plenty of support from the plate if they want to win in Game 3. The betting odds are leaning towards the Yankees as they are predicted to win this game and the series.

The Yanks hold the second spot in the league with 101 home runs. With a 48-21 record, they are the only team that won the most number of games in the MLB.

Prediction: New York Yankees 1.5 (-160)
