The Yankees were on quite a roll before their 2-0 shutout loss against the Seattle Mariners. New York had won five games in a row before that Seattle loss, scoring double-digit runs twice throughout that stretch.
Kansas City has won three of their last five games, including two surprising wins over the AL Central-leading White Sox. In the Royals' last matchup—a 6-5 win over the Cardinals on August 8—they received a clutch RBI single from Nicky Lopez in the top of the ninth inning.
The Royals are much better at home than on the road, posting a 28-25 record at Kauffman Stadium entering Monday night. Despite their success at home, the public is fading the Royals against the Yankees.
Our latest MLB PRO Report shows that multiple signals are pointing to experts trusting Kansas City as the underdog.
