The AL East-leading New York Yankees entertain the Kansas City Royals in the third game of their four-game set on Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium. The Royals evened the series up at one a piece with a late power surge on Tuesday night. Trailing 2-0 entering the seventh inning, the Royals used four long balls and plated six runs in the seventh and eighth innings to upend the Yankees 6-2. The Royals, who have the worst record in the American League, are currently 2-3 on their 10-game road trip, but have pounded out 13 home runs. Jorge Bonifacio, who has gone deep in both games at Yankee Stadium, has four of those 13 blasts and will go up against Luis Severino in tonight’s matchup. Jason Hammel, who is making his return to the American League after spending the past 2.5 seasons with the Chicago Cubs, will face New York for the second time in a week after getting rocked by the Yankees in Kansas City. Yankees OF Aaron Hicks hit his eighth homer Tuesday, matching his total from last year in 123 games. Royals 3B Mike Moustakas is heating up, blasting three homers and driving in ten runs over the past seven games.
Pitchers: Royals – Jason Hammel (1-5, 6.20 ERA) | Yankees – Luis Severino (2-2, 3.64)
Severino, who is winless since April 26th, went five innings last time out, allowing one run on five hits while striking out seven in a no-decision at Tampa Bay. It was the third straight road start he’s given up one run or less. He lasted only 2.1 innings in his previous start against the Houston Astros, allowing three runs on six hits in another no-decision. Severino’s ERA at home (5.09) is more than double his road mark (2.25).
The Yankees took Hammel deep a couple of times last week with Aaron Judge hitting a three-run homer and Chris Carter a two-run blast in his six innings of work. He was also knocked around in his previous outing at Tampa Bay, giving up seven runs (six earned) on 13 hits over seven innings. New York’s Starlin Castro is 5-for-9 against Hammel, a former teammate of his with the Cubs.

Hammel has been terrible all year and was hammered by the Yankees just a week ago. I see more of the same tonight. Look for Severino to cool-off the Royals bats tonight and pick up the victory.
Pick: Yankees -1.5 +100
