Pitching Today are Kris Bubic for the Royals and Gerrit Cole for the Yankees.
Bubic is having an impressive season for an abysmal team. However, after a rough start to the season, he's now having a great summer as his strikeout totals climb and earned run average falls.
Gerrit Cole is having a Gerrit Cole season. He already has over 150 strikeouts, an ERA of just over three, and is the sixth-favorite to win American League Cy Young.

Kansas City Royals vs. New York Yankees Best Picks
Gerrit Cole's strikeout total can be quite sporadic. He's thrown as few as four and as many as twelve Ks in a start. However, one of the few things Kansas City does well is avoid strikeouts. For that reason, the under is a great play today.
Gerrit Cole Under 8.5 Strikeouts (-144)
Two great hurlers are taking the mound today, which could likely be another pitcher's dual. The last time Bubic faced the Yankees, he gave up three runs in five innings, which is impressive given the offense capability of this team. However, he's improved since last facing New York, and he should be able to get through the lineup at least once with limited damage.
No Runs in the First Inning (-120)
Kansas City Royals vs. New York Yankees Prediction
The Yankees failed to deliver the run support they are capable of yesterday. While Bubic is a strong pitcher, it's improbable the Royals will be able to hold New York to one run again today. Bettors should expect a big game from the Bronx Bombers.
New York -2.5 (-118)
