Vegas Play of the Day: New York Yankees at Kansas City Royals

We’re entering the third season of the annual South Point-lined Play of the Day competition, effective July 1.

Starting bankrolls have reset to $10,000, with the maximum bet being to win $1,000 and the minimum wager $300. Ray Brewer won the 2015-2016 season, after Taylor Bern prevailed in 2014-2015.

Kansas City Royals plus-114 vs. New York Yankees: $500 to win $570

The Royals are red hot lately, but since starter Kansas City Dillon Gee has struggled you can get a good price on the team that’s won 12 of the last 14 and eight of nine at home.

The Royals are 1-6 in Gee’s last seven starts, which along with New York’s resurgent offense is a big reason the Yankees are favored today. But even if Gee struggles, I think Kansas City’s offense, which has averaged six runs per game over the last four, is going to be enough to push the Royals to the win.

Current Standings: Keefer (9-5-1, $11,140), Bern (5-7, $9,654), Brewer (7-8, $9,365)
