    See if you can figure out how they arrived at the final answer.

    Do the math.

    1. Royals currently with better W-L record than Yankees

    +

    2. Posada and Jeter out of the lineup tomorrow

    +

    3. Royals pitcher (Greinke) who allowed 1 earned run in 7 innings vs Detroit in his first start.

    +

    4. Yankees pitcher (Kennedy) who got lit up and removed after two innings his first time out this year.

    +

    5. Royals team that has scored more runs this year than the Yankees.

    +

    6. Yankees Bullpen with a 3.24 ERA compared to Royals with 0.58 (!!)

    +

    7. Royals with a better batting average than the Yankees (.266 vs .256)

    +

    8. Royals off to their best start in five years and playing at home.

    While the Yankees are often overrated (inflated) in the odds, your reasoning isn't what I would call math. Math would be making a model based on meaningful statistics, park factors, etc.
