Yankees -153 3.5* MLB POD
The Yankees are making sure they win these games against weak competition. The Twins are able to hold their own at home, but against winning teams they are just 15-40 in their last 55 home games and the Yankees are 36-16 in their last 52. Tonight they send C.C. Sabathia to the mound who is 26-7 in his last 33 vs. AL Central. Sabathia is 9-1 in his last 10 starts against the Twins who have a .530 OPS in 129 AB with a .194 average. Sabathia has been great on 4 days rest ironically going 7 or more innings in 7 of 8 starts wiht a 3.06 ERA which is much better than his season ERA and I'm expecting the same tonight against the Twins.
P.J. Walters makes the start for Minnesota and he's allowed 16 ER in 9 innings and he's on 4 days rest as well and he's backed by a bullpen that has struggled big time of late especially in this series. Yankees are 43-17 in their last 60 road games with Sabathia as a road favorite.
The Rockies are clearly struggling to score runs without Tulowitski int he line up. They are averaging just 2 runs per game over their last 5 home games. Greinke on 5 days rest and has held the Rockies hitters to a .608 OPS in 113 AB. Dodgers are on fire of late scoring more than 2 more runs per 9 vs. RHP than the Rockies over their last 10 games. Yasiel Puig continues to dominate and keep the Dodgers climbing int he AL West standings.
