5 game slate tonight and it looks like all games are good to go. No weather issues.
Quick look at my favorite plays.
PITCHERS
JA Happ
Happ has pitched well over his last 2 games and faces his former team tonight. They Jays have been mediocre at best this year and have not hit very well vs Happ. Jays have a .232 average with 24% K rate on the year vs LHP. Looking at 6 innings 7 Ks and 2 ERs.
VALUE ARM
Ariel Jurado
Jurado has not allowed over 2 ERs in a game this year and limits HRs. His K rate is minimal, but I can see him pitching enough against the Orioles who have a .232 average and 23% K rate vs RHP this year. Looking at 5-6 innings 4 Ks and 1 ERs.
TEAM/S
Targeting the worst pitchers.

The Yankees face Edwin Jackson with his + 13 ERA and in 16 innings this year allowed 30 hits, 24 runs and 6 HR all to RHHs (.618 wOBA and 50% HC to RHHS). Yankees lineup is loaded with RHHs.
