Money Line: -155.00 NY Yankees (Home)
Result: Push
The set-up: The Yanks held on for a 7-6 win on Saturday afternoon and I think they're going to notch another one in the win column on Sunday night as well. The visitors go with ace Jacob deGrom, while the home side goes with Masahiro Tanaka.
The pitchers: deGrom is so far 5-4 with a 1.68 ERA. It's hard to say anything negative about deGrom this year, as he's been downright dominant across the board. Wrong place, wrong time for the hard-throwing right-hander though.
Tanaka is so far 7-2 with a 4.54 ERA. In his final start before the break he'd give up two runs while striking out five over 6.1 innings in a no-decision to the Tribe. Tanaka has strung together three straight quality outings, giving up six runs over his last 15.2 frames of work.
The pick: I think Tanaka can match deGrom inning for inning and that's bad news for the visiting side in my opinion. Look for the Yankees' big bats to be the difference again this evening and lay the price with confidence.
