The current betting odds have the Yankees listed as a big favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Yankees have looked really good in their games this season with their 39-25 record overall which has them right at the top of the AL East. They have been a good road team too with their 18-13 road record this season. Meanwhile, the Royals have looked good in their games this season with their 34-32 record overall, but that record has them near the bottom of the AL Central in a competitive division. They have looked a lot better in their own ballpark with their 19-13 home record this year. Neither team has been rolling in their games lately, but the Yankees do have the better pitching matchup in this one and they can take advantage of that. The Yankees are going with Fried in this one and he is 8-1 with a 1.78 ERA this year. He gave up no runs in his last start and that has been a common theme for him this season as he has been very reliable for the Yankees all year. His team has also had a ton of success with him starting, winning 3 of the last 4 games he started in. The Royals are going with Cameron in this one and he has also looked great this season. He is 2-1 with a 0.85 ERA and hasn't been giving up many runs in his starts at all, but he is also in his rookie season so he doesn't have a ton of experience to lean on either. He is not going to have it as easy against one of the best offenses in the MLB here in the Yankees, and as good as he has been this season, the team has still struggled in his starts as they have lost 3 of the last 4 games he started in. The best way to place a bet here is on the Yankees to win this game.
