New York Yankees
Moneyline Pick - New York (-170): A-

New York enters this matchup on a two-game win streak and looks to keep rolling at home, even with a key offensive contributor still sidelined. Kansas City, having dropped its last two, faces an uphill battle on the road against a lineup that has proven tough to contain. At this point of the season, The Yankees look like the team to beat in the American League, and the Royals need to keep pace in the AL Central, making each game increasingly meaningful in the standings.

Honestly, this feels like a strong spot for New York to assert itself again. The home-field advantage, deeper lineup, and recent form all point toward a high-confidence pick. With an A- grade backing it, there’s solid value in this play.

Over/Under Pick - Over 8.5, (-110): B+

New York rolls into this matchup on a mini surge, while Kansas City aims to recover from a short losing streak and deal with depth issues behind the plate. Even with the season still in its early stages, the energy around both clubs points toward an impactful meeting, especially with each offense showing flashes of rhythm. With vulnerabilities on the mound and balanced lineups on both sides, this game is primed to exceed expectations on the scoreboard.

Honestly, if you're looking for value, the Over feels like the right play. The conditions are there—momentum, early-season volatility, and capable bats—to push the total past the line. It's a solid setup for those chasing offense.

Spread Pick - Kansas City Royals, +1.5 (-135): B+

Kansas City heads into this matchup looking to end a brief skid, facing a New York team that’s found ways to win despite missing key power in the lineup. While the season is still young, these April games still matter in shaping momentum well into the summer. The Royals have shown flashes of resilience, and with some positive matchup history on their side, there’s a reasonable case for them to keep it close.

Honestly, backing Kansas City on the spread feels like a smart value play here. It’s not a lock, but if they manage to steady the ship, there’s enough upside to make this wager worth a look.
