Since Aaron Judge snapped his 11-game home run drought on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Rays the New York Yankees bats have exploded. In their first 2 games of their 3-game set with the Kansas City Royals, the Bombers have outscored the Royals 19-4. Tonight they will go for a road sweep and are expected to have the future Hall-of-Famer on the hill, Gerrit Cole. Cole has not missed a beat since returning from Tommy John surgery. He returned to the rotation on Friday against Tampa and delivered, allowing only 2 hits and no runs over 6 innings of work. The Royals are expected to give the nod to southpaw Noah Cameron, and the Yankees crush left-handed pitching. Cameron comes in at 2-3 with a 4.72 ERA and a 1.45 WHIP. New York has won 13 consecutive games against KC and has edge in runs scored, run differential, homers, team ERA and the list goes on.
