The Tigers took Game 1 against the Astros, showcasing Tarik Skubal's dominance, while the Royals shut out the Orioles, setting up an intriguing ALDS matchup.
The Royals may be the preferable opponent for the Yankees in the ALDS, backed by their strong regular season performance against Kansas City, winning five out of seven meetings.
Despite the Orioles' strong performance during the regular season, the Royals' less potent offense presents a less daunting challenge for the Yankees in the playoffs.
While Baltimore has the upper hand overall, the season series with Kansas City provides the Yankees confidence they could defeat them again in the ALDS.
