The Yankees need to raise their performance level as they face a tough Royals team, with Game 3 set in front of an enthusiastic Kauffman Stadium crowd.
Clarke Schmidt's mixed results in the regular season make him a risky but potentially steady option against the Royals' lineup during this high-stakes playoff game.
Seth Lugo's unique repertoire of pitches complicates hitting against him, and his recent success gives the Royals confidence as they look to take a series lead.
The Yankees will stick to their Game 1 lineup against Lugo, suggesting they're looking for continuity amid a playoff atmosphere after a disappointing Game 2.
