Kansas City Royals vs. New York Yankees
September 10, 2024, 7:10 p.m. EDT

Major League Baseball will see the New York Yankees face the Kansas City Royals. Let’s take a look at this MLB game from Draftkings’ perspective.

Before we discuss the New York Yankees vs. Kansas City Royals game, let’s go over the rules for the Draftkings Single Game Showdown contest.

Draftkings Single Game Showdown Contest Rules

You have $50,000 to spend on five players from both teams. However, one of those players will be named captain of your team. The captain will earn 1.5x the standard fantasy points. In addition, the captain will cost 1.5x the standard cost of the flex position.

The remaining four players in your lineup will receive the usual fantasy points, but finding the right player for your captaincy position is extremely important if you hope to win a deep-seated DFS GPP (guaranteed prize pool) Showdown contest.

If you have any further questions about the rules for the Single Game Showdown Contest, I recommend you visit the Draftkings website for more details.

*I recommend all readers check the starting lineups of both teams before setting their DFS lineup for this one game.

Here are my Draftkings tips for tonight’s game between the New York Yankees and the Kansas City Royals.

Draftkings MLB Showdown Tips

Captain Marcus Stroman, starting pitcher, New York Yankees $10,600

On Tuesday night, Major League Baseball presents the second game of a three-game American League series between the New York Yankees and the Kansas City Royals.

How are these two teams playing ahead of tomorrow’s MLB game? The New York Yankees come into the first game of this American League series while the Kansas City Royals are playing top-notch baseball. The Yankees have won three of the team’s last four games in the 2024 MLB regular season, including a 3-0 win over the Chicago Cubs four days ago.

Much like the New York Yankees, the Kansas City Royals are playing pretty good baseball heading into tonight’s American League game. Let me get into it in more detail. The Royals have won four of the team’s last five games this season, including a 4-1 victory over the Cleveland Guardians last week.

It should be noted that the New York Yankees defeated the Kansas City Royals 10-4 last night in the first game of this three-game American League series.

Now that we’ve established how these two American League teams are currently playing, let’s turn our focus to tonight’s game. New York pitcher Marcus Stroman has certainly been a valuable member of the New York Yankees’ starting pitching rotation this season. So, from a statistical standpoint, how has Stroman performed in the 2024 MLB regular season? Let’s look at Marcus Stroman’s recent game data to answer that question.

In the 27 games Marcus Stroman has pitched for the New York Yankees during the 2024 MLB season, Stroman has posted a respectable 4.02 ERA (earned run average), recorded 105 strikeouts, and allowed 58 walks.

Most recently, in the New York Yankees’ 6-3 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals ten days ago, New York starting pitcher Marcus Stroman pitched at a high level. Let me get into it in more detail. Stroman threw seven quality innings, striking out five St. Louis batters and giving up nine hits in the New York Yankees’ victory over the Cardinals. It must be said that these are the kind of DFS numbers I need to see from a player I select for the captain’s position.

In summary, I would like to say that for this one MLB DFS game, I am supporting New York Yankees starting pitcher Marcus Stroman as captain.

Flex games I like (Draftkings price noted): Seth Lugo, starting pitcher (Kansas City Royals) $11,200: Juan Soto, outfielder (New York Yankees) $9,400: Aaron Judge, outfielder (New York Yankees) $10,000.
