Result: Win
#919 ASA PLAY ON New York Yankees -105 over Toronto Blue Jays, Wednesday at 3:07 PM ET - Line value here because the Yankees have lost 3 straight and the Blue Jays have won 4 straight. That is keeping this line in the pick'em range when normally the Yankees would be a big favorite here considering the pitching edge for this one. Marcus Stroman has been pitching well for New York and was victimized by clutch hitting in his most recent start. That led to 4 earned runs on only 4 hits as Stroman was again tough to hit despite the end result. Stroman has held opponents to a .180 batting average in his 3 starts this season and he has struck out 17 in 17 innings. His numbers are in stark contrast to the struggling Kevin Gausman. Note that Gausman is 0-2 with an 11.57 ERA this season and he has been hit at a .372 batting average. This is not a fluke as Gausman has not looked right at all. He had a shoulder injury during spring training so he only pitched in one game in spring training and he is rusty early this season. This will be Gausman's 4th outing and he has been rocked in each of the last two so he continues to be in "fade" territory right now. Neither team has hit particularly well this season but the Yankees bullpen has a 2.50 ERA compared to the Blue Jays having a 5.18 ERA so the pitching edge - both starting and bullpen - is strongly in favor of New York here. Road team rolls in this one!
