The set-up: The massive talent discrepancy on the mound absolutely justifies in laying the 1.5 runs for the reasonable mid-sized price in my opinion. New York comes in off a satisfying 4-0 win in yesterday's opener and I believe an even bigger blowout is in the cards here. The visitors hand the ball to Clayton Richard, while the home side goes with JA Happ.

The pitchers: Richard (1-5, 6.23 ERA) is so far 0-1 with a 4.22 ERA in two stars vs. the Yankees this season. Happ most recently allowed three runs over six innings in an 8-1 loss to the Orioles.

Happ (7-4, 5.02) is 14-4 with a 4.05 ERA overall since coming over to the Yankees from Toronto. Most recently he gave up one run over six innings in a no-decision vs. the Rays.

The pick: Happ has dominated his former team in the past, going 3-0 with a 2.35 ERA in four career starts vs. Toronto. I expect Happ to easily out duel his volatile counterpart. Lay the 1.5 runs.
