The American League team that plays in New York will take on Kansas City’s only MLB team this evening at Yankee Stadium with the series on the line. After a bullpen implosion gave New York a win in the opener, Seth Lugo threw a gem to even the series for the Royals.
Cole Ragans starts for Kansas City. You don’t need me to tell you that Ragans is a very good pitcher. He throws hard with a nasty changeup and, despite the presence of one Aaron Judge, the Yankees as a whole have been considerably weaker against lefties than right-handed pitchers this season.
