Join Discord for earlier access: https://discord.gg/HjKxYKdSUy Kansas City is 6-4 over its last 10 and has won 3 straight, while New York is 4-6 in that same window. Wacha gives the home dog a real starter case with a 2.70 ERA and 1.03 WHIP over 63.1 innings. Warren's command is the counter, but +130 is enough for me to take the Royals at home.

Value play here especially with the Early win promo on FD. Yankees haven’t been hitting as well but their lineup is clearly still better than KC’s which has failed to find any consistency this year. Yankees have a 109 wRC+ against RHP while KC has a 95 wRC+ against RHP
