Kansas City at New York

Ivan Nova takes the mound for New York tonight, and is arguably off his best career performance. The Yankees are strong at home, and after dropping the first two here, they should be ready to go tonight. They seldom get swept here - especially by a losing team. The Royals traded for Shields and Davis to bolster their rotation. While Shields has pitched very well, Davis has been disappointing. Davis enters tonight's contest with a 4-7 record, and an ERA of 5.42. The Yanks are 150-70 in their last 220 here vs. a losing team, and with Nova on the hill as a favorite, the Bombers are 28-13 anywhere. Kansas City is just 30-72 in their last 102 vs. the Yankees, including a woeful 13-39 in their last 52 at the Stadium. Take the Yankees.
