Yankees vs. Royals: Game 2 Prediction, Odds and Picks — June 11, MLB 2024
Aaron Boone's New York Yankees are back on the winning track. After a disappointing 2-1 series defeat against the Los Angeles Dodgers, the Yanks started their new series against the Kansas City Royals with a 4-2 win in Game 1 Monday night.
As the scoreline suggests, the Yanks were the better side on the night. The team had star player Juan Soto back after a forearm inflammation for an additional morale boost. The Bronx Bombers will try to replicate Game 1's success in Game 2 and continue their winning streak.
With a record of 39-28, the KC Royals are second in the AL Central table. On the other hand, after a dominant start to the season, the Yanks are at the top of the AL East division with a 47-21 record.
Marcus Stroman will set things off for the Yanks on the mound on Tuesday. The right-handed pitcher has played and started 13 games for his side this season. He has a 5-2 record, with an ERA of 3.04, a WHIP of 1.24, and 57 strikeouts.
On the other side, Brady Singer will start on the mound for the Royals. The 27-year-old pitcher has played and started 12 games for his side so far this regular season and holds a 4-2 record. He has an ERA of 2.76 and a WHIP of 1.21 along with 66 strikeouts.

Yankees vs. Royals Prediction
After a powerful performance in Game 1, the Yankees will aim to thrash the Royals again. Their dominant hitting lineup — starring the likes of Juan Soto, Aaron Judge, Alex Verdugo and Anthony Volpe — will be looking to bring their A-Game on Tuesday.
However, the Yanks will face Bobby Witt Jr, Singer, Maikel Garcia, Vinnie Pasquantino and others who have been in decent form this season. The Royals will be out to turn things around in Game 2 to give Kansas City a fighting chance of winning the series.
Prediction: New York Yankees - 1.5 (-145)
