We just missed with the Yankees as big under dogs last night, and I have a good feeling they'll bounce back to win tonight with CC Sabathia on the road as he's been great with an ERA under 3 this year on the road. Ervin Santana makes a start vs. the Yankees in his last 4 vs. the Yanks he's pitched at home in 3 of them giving up 18 ER over 24 IP. Jeter has a .452 batting average and overall Yankees have an OPS of .865 vs. them. I think they'll have the advantage here.
This would have been the POD, but with how successful Dillon Gee has been it's hard to not really look at both sides here. Still I trust Jurrjens who has a 3-1 record and a 1.51 ERA on the road. Gee has been a little lucky if you ask me with a .241 BABIP and the Mets bullpen has cost them a ton of games at home in the late innings an mlb record 7 in a row when leading after the 7th inning. They have a 10.33 ERA out of the pen in their last 10 games. Advantage Braves in a low scoring close game.
The way the Pirates have hit of late it's hard to ignore this and the Phillies just 1-5 in their last 6 in Pitt so I'm backing Charlie Morton and his 1.95 ERA at home. The Phillies continue to struggle and I believe they get 3 runs off him but the Pirates are just too hot right now and will score more.
