The Kansas City Royals have five wins since May 6. The New York Yankees, and their many fans, are in town looking for their fifth consecutive win against the Royals this year. That\u2019s underselling it, actually; the Yankees have defeated the Royals in the last 11 consecutive regular season games dating back to 2024. And, oh yeah, the Yankees are sending Cam Schlittler to the mound. The 25-year-old righty leads the American League in pitching Wins Above Replacement with a 1.50 ERA. He\u2019s <em>nasty<\/em> nasty.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">You know what that means, right?

The Royals are sending Bailey Falter out there, who has been\u2026less than stellar this season. Less than stellar as a Royal, really. Afterwards, it\u2019ll be a bullpen game. The chances for an Aaron Judge home run seem greater than 100%.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">But you don\u2019t play baseball in a spreadsheet.
