The right-hander has a stingy 2.45 ERA over his first four outings, holding opponents to two earned runs in three of four games.<\/strong><\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n The Yankees will get it done at home today.<\/p>\n Covers<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n COVERS INTEL:<\/strong><\/p>\n Aaron Judge<\/a> has an MLB-best five home runs over the last seven days while riding a six-game hit streak.<\/span><\/p>\n The Royals (70%; 1st) and Yankees (55.6%; t-4th) have been cashing the Under more than almost anyone in the MLB this year. Kansas City has hit the Under in six of its last eight, while New York has done so in three of four.<\/p>\n Royals starter Noah Cameron<\/a> has also been solid with a 3.94 ERA, allowing just one earned run in two of his three outings, but it’s Kansas City\u2019s offense (or lack thereof) that\u2019ll keep this one Under 8.5 runs.<\/p>\n Advertisement<\/p>\n Chris Faria’s 2026 Transparency Record<\/strong><\/p>\n Moneyline<\/strong>: Kansas City +144 | New York -150<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Run line<\/strong>: Kansas City +1.5 (-138) | New York -1.5 (+133)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Over\/Under<\/strong>: Over 8.5 (-122) | Under 8.5 (+117)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n New York has won nine straight head-to-head meetings vs. Kansas City<\/span>.
