The Kansas City Royals are facing off against the New York Yankees in a critical matchup at Yankee Stadium. Kris Bubic, holding a stellar 0.96 ERA, will pitch for the Royals, aiming to stop their recent slide, having lost four of their last five games. Meanwhile, the Yankees, buoyed by Jasson Dominguez's recent performance, which included a bases-clearing double leading to a 4-2 victory in the last game, are looking to extend their winning streak.

With the Yankees favored at -167, the current odds reflect their recent form, winning three of their last four games, while the Royals seek to avoid a series sweep. Expect a competitive contest with the total set at 8.0 runs. The Royals need to capitalize on Bubic's strong start to turn their season around.
