Clarke Schmidt has given up three runs or less in his last two starts against KC and he performed relatively well down the stretch in September. If he falters early, Boone has shown he has no problem yanking his starters early in favor of their bullpen, who should be rested for this contest. The Royals have gone 8-2 on the under in their last ten and Seth Lugo has given up two runs or less in his last four of five starts. In his two starts against the Yankees this year, he gave up a combined four runs in 14 innings, with both games hitting the under.
