Here is the first pick of the day, simulated and posted:
7/7: NY Yankees at Boston (Game 1), 12:35pm (ET)
SIMULATION RESULT
NY YANKEES 8, BOSTON 3
In Game 1 of this Saturday afternoon/night doubleheader, our simulation likes the Yankees to come out on top once again. The Bronx Bombers won their second in a row in this series beating the Red Sox with clutch hits as they managed a total of 13 hits and pounded Red Sox starter Morales. He lasted only 4.2 innings of work, allowed 10 hits and 6 earned runs while talking 3 batters and striking out 5. Nothing to write home about and not enough against this Yankees lineup that includes Robinson Cano (2 hits), Mark Texeira (2 hits), Nick Swisher (2 hits), Eric Chavez (2 hits) and Russell Martin (3 hits). Freddy Garcia did not have his best stuff and he did allow 11 hits total in the span of 6.1 innings pitched but he also got himself out of some big jams and allowed only 3 earned runs. Again it wasn't that the Red Sox couldn't hit it's that they couldn't cash in with runners in scoring position. Yankees take Game 1 of the double-header.
PLAY: New York Yankees ML -102
