This is one of the highest lines we've seen this season: New York Yankees -400, with good reason though as Luis Severino starts from the mound and the Yankees are 22-4 in his last 26 home starts.
Severino is also coming off a very bad loss to Tampa in which he surrendering seven runs (six earned) on 11 hits - all career or season highs - across five innings. Since posting a 1.98 ERA and giving up only six home runs over his first 18 outings.
PITCHING MATCHUP: Royals RH Brad Keller (3-4, 3.20 ERA) vs. Yankees RH Luis Severino (14-3, 2.63)
Keller notched his first victory in nearly a month Sunday against Minnesota, permitting three runs on three hits and two walks while striking out a season-high eight across seven-plus innings.
KC should be just what the doctor ordered for Severino, who is 2-0 with a 1.98 ERA in two career starts against the Royals.
