***Official 4/16/25 Royals (Bubic) at Yankees (Schmidt) GameDay Thread***

[Vladimir_Kyrilytch]

Today at 4:05 Pacific, the Royals will be facing the Yankees in the Bronx, Bubic on the mound for the Boys and Clarke Schmidt on the hill for the opposition.

Lines are +124 for KC and -148 for NYY if you must bet into a 20 cent line.

Bubic got lit up in his last outing after dominating before that, while Schmidt makes his 2025 debut after a stint on the IL to start the season. He's real good though so the play just might be the under, but that line already reflects the pitching talent (total is 8).

Personally I'm putting a half unit on KC and my undefeated GameDay thread record both on the line in this one. Let us gogogogogogo!

That's correct.

Obviously he sucks.

He might be the first hitter I've ever seen whose Plan A is to take a walk and who has absolutely no Plan B after that.
