$$ BET on the Yankees? 8/25/2017 $$
Lines for Friday's Game:
Seattle Mariners @ New York Yankees
Miranda (8-6, 4.78ERA) vs. CC Sabathia (10-5, 3.99 ERA)
Spread: Seattle + 1.5, -150 Yankees -1.5, +130
Over/Under: Over 9.5 -115, Under 9.5 -105
Money-line: Seattle +130, Yankees -150
Analysis: The Yankees come back home after dominating both the Mets and Tigers, but losing 2 out of 3 to the Red Sox. Normally, I would say take the Yankees Money-line here. However, I feel it is a little risky betting on Sabathia pitching well twice after coming off the DL. I'd still like to see a little more time from him on the mound before saying he's 100% healthy and effective.
Prior Starts:
7/21: Sabathia throws 5 innings of 1 run baseball against Seattle.
7/22: Miranda throws 5.1 innings of 2 run baseball against the Yankees.
The Game's Pick:
With the Yankees offense hot, and both starters having short appearances the last time out, I think playing the over is the smart money here. Seattle's offense has scored at least 6 runs in 5 of last 7 games, while the Yankees are averaging well over 7 runs a game this week. Expect the Yankees to tag the Mariners bullpen late and pull off the win. I don't like the -150, so you'll get more bank for your buck taking the Over at -115.
Best of luck Yankees and baseball fans.
