MLB Play of the Days (POD's):
74-32 (70%) +115.09 units of profit! (+$115,095)


We are coming off two POD losses after winning 11 straight, but have no fear we will recoup from this today. Yankees have some value here today in my opinion it is not very often that you can say that right? I really like Burnett on the mound and he's been better on the road with a 3.38ERA and a 6-3 record. White Sox have just a .226 average against the RHP and if he can get past Konerko in the lineup he should do just fine. In his last appearance vs. the Sox he went 7 innings gave up 1 hit and 0 ER when he was with the Jays in September of last year. Yankees are 12-2 with him as the starter as a favorite and he's 6-0 in his last 6 vs. a team with a winning record so he knows his role here and has been earning that contract. He will go up against a solid Lefty that the Yankees have not seen since 2007.

Yankees have a .350 average against Danks despite not seeing him in over 2 years. A lot has changed and Danks is a much more consistent pitcher. However I feel he is due for a let down performance here against a Yankee lineup that his flat out destroyed Left handed pitching all year, whether it be a starter or reliever. They are 18-8 in their last 26 games vs. LH starter and 7-2 over their last 9. Over their last 5 games they have a .343 average and are scoring 8.10 runs per 9 innings. Last 10 .297 and 7.05/9 and away this year a very impressive .304average and 6.60 runs per 9 innings. Danks has not presented himself as a big game pitcher 2-5 in his last 7 as a home dog so I do not see him putting up a performance that we can be surprised about. When it comes down to it the White Sox are also without Jenks so if Yankees are to be trailing in the later innings we can be confident of a comeback.
