Yankees at Royals 5/19/18 - MLB Picks & Predictions

The Royals, who are one of the worst teams in the league are going to be facing off against the Yankees who are one of the best teams in the majors. So this is going to make this one of those games that could easily tilt in favor of the winning team who has been able to run away with a lot of the season so far.

The Royals are coming into the game here to face the Yankees with a decent hitting offense that has managed to hit at a clip of .260 on the year, but even with the decent hitting have not been able to bring the runners home as the Royals have only scored 173 runs. The pitching for the Royals has been a major problem as the team has an ERA that sits at 5.47 or the worst in the majors.

The Royals are sending out Danny Duffy to the mound. Duffy on the year has been able to throw a total of 47 innings in his 9 starts on the year. Duffy has been able to get a total of 41 strikeouts, but has a 1-5 record and a dismal 6.51 ERA.
