Birds (+120) at Yankees Â
The Yankees Nestor Cortes has stunk up the Bronx this season: ERA of 5.21 and opponents are hitting .276 against him! He’s coughed up 10 earned runs over his last 15.1 innings. That’s DFA material! Â
Meantime the Birdies’ Tyler Wells has been a pleasant surprise, sporting an ERA of 2.94 with a corresponding WHIP of 0.79. The Yanks have not hit well against Wells in his career, hitting just .229 against him lifetime. Â
Pick: O’s (+120) Â
Â
Blue Jays at Tampa (-190)Â Â
The Rays got clobbered last night at home and look for a rebound game from the best team in baseball. Add to that equation Shane McClanahan and it all points to a Rays turnaround. McClanahan was not human in his last start. He was unhittable. Â
Pick: Rays (-190)Â Â
A’s at Seattle (-1.5 Runs, -140) Â
Ok, the A’s lost a one-run game last night and covered the run line. Whoopie! Please, this team is competitive only at the Triple A level.
The M’s need a sweep at home and how many of these losses that the A’s pile up will be by one run? Forget it, this is a gift at -140. Don’t let one game scare you off. Be brave! Â
Pick: M’s (-1.5 Runs, -140) Â
