Small slate, but I honestly find the six games tonight to be rather interesting.
PITCHING
Madison Bumgarner … We’ve reached the point where MadBum is going to let loose one of these starts and his price is not going to match the production that we get. Β What I mean is, I’m jumping all over his potential for a huge game at the price he costs on both sites tonight. Β My #1 by far even though he wont get ANY offensive help from his hitters. Β He needs to homer today.
CC Sabathia .. Sabathia has done pretty well against many of these current Red Sox. Β I don’t love him because I think we get a 4-3 or 5-4 type close game and even though they had a DH yesterday the Yanks could go to the pen early. Β But Boston has struggled some with lefties and CC is a good option for me tonight as an SP2.
Michael Wacha … Giants are trash offensively and are back home for the first time in a looong time. Β So you know the drill. Β This is a 1-0 game. Β I just hope MadBum takes him deep.
FADE
E-Rod … I just fade him, it’s what I do.
FAVORITE STACKS
Baltimore … I know Estrada has great numbers against them. Β Not tonight for me. Β 70%+ humidity in Camden Β Yards. Β Ball will travel.
Milwaukee … Staying home and welcoming in Gio Gonzalez who has been amazing at home and Gio on the road. Β Love Milwaukee tonight.
Miami … Ben Lively and the Phils Pen. Β End of story.
