The Royals have a rookie on the mound. While they do have key players on the team, it's not going to be easy to make it past their dominating opponent. Aaron Judge, Juan Soto, and Giancarlo Stanton have been impressive at the plate. The Yanks are predicted to win this game and sweep the Royals with ease.
