This matchup features two lefties on the mound, and while Danny Duffy wins the talent battle with Jordan Montgomery, he has to face a much tougher lineup. The Yankees are fifth in the majors with a .787 OPS against southpaws, while the Royals rank 29th with a .582 OPS in that same split. Expect that massive chasm in situational batting to rule the day Thursday and the Yankees to come away with the win.

Kansas City's pitching thus far against the Yankees has proved incapable. The Royals aim to turn things around Thursday with the reliable arm of Danny Duffy. Duffy has not won a game since April 14, which surely has influenced the price against young Yankees starter Jordan Montgomery. Instead, grab the Royals to manage to pull this one out.
