We'll grab the Royals showing excellent value as a home underdog today in this bounce back spot. Sabathia was awful in the opener at Baltimore and this is a Royals team that has seen plenty of him when he was pitching at Cleveland. After scoring just 1 run yesterday, I expect the Royals to be aggressive against the big lefty today. The Royals counter with a lefty and that has been the way to go against the Yankees as they are just 15-30 against the money line in road games against left-handed starters over the last 3 seasons. The Royals are 6-0 in their last 6 during game 2 of a series, 15-3 in their last 18 games vs. a starter with a WHIP greater than 1.30, and 13-5 in their last 18 games vs. a left-handed starter. Bet the Royals at a great price tonight.
