Yankees vs. Royals Best MLB Prop Bet

Paul Goldschmidt OVER 1.5 Total Bases (+110)

To say that Paul Goldschmidt's numbers against left-handed pitchers this season would be the understatement of the century. He has a .196 batting average and a .549 OPS against right-handed pitchers, but a .326 batting average and a 1.197 OPS against left-handed pitchers. He and the Yankees will face a lefty starter tonight in Noah Cameron of the Royals, which means he could be in for a big performance tonight.

Yankees vs. Royals Prediction and Pick

In today's edition of Walk-Off Wagers, I wrote about why I'm going to back the Yankees to cruise to victory tonight:

This is a game between one of the best and one of the worst offenses in baseball in recent weeks. The Yankees lead all of baseball in wRC+ over the past 30 days at 121, while the Royals rank 27th in wRC+ in that same time frame at 84.

To make matters worse for the Royals tonight, they're rolling with Noah Cameron tonight, a lefty with a 4.72 ERA. No team has been more effective against left-handed pitchers than the Yankees, who have an OPS of .815 and a wRC+ of 128 when facing lefties.

The Yankees beat the Royals 15-1 last night, and while it won't be as big a beatdown tonight, I still expect the Yankees to cruise to a win.
