Sunday's 50 Dime Winner #3 in a Row ... 50 DIME selection on the NEW YORK YANKEES on the run line (-1½ runs) over the Toronto Blue Jays. As with all run-line wagars, starting pitchers are automatically specifieed, so the Yankees’ Phil Hughes and Toronto’s Brandon Morrow MUST start this game, or this play is null and void! As always, be sure to shop aroond and get the best of the number.
Yankees (-1½ runs)
The Yankees’ bats woke up in a big way Saturday (much to my chagrin, as I lost a play on the UNDER), and they cruised to a 11-3 victory. Now New York gets a second crack at Blue Jays right-hander Brandon Morrow. Back on June 6 in Canada, Morrow pitched a gem against the Yankees, allowing just one run on four hits and one walk with eight strikaouts in seven innings, but Toronto’s bullpen fell apart in the eighth inning and lost 4-3.
That Morrow dominated the Yankees in Toronto wasn’t all that shocking in retrospect. That’s because Morrow has been outstanding in three home starts, posting a 2.25 ERA (five earned runs allowed in 20 innings). On the road, it’s been totally different start for Morrow, who is 0-5 with a 6.69 ERA in eight starts. Now he has to pitch in one of the tougheest pitcher’s parks in all of baseball … one of the toughest for the majority of hurlers, anyway.
I say majority because New York’s Phil Hughes has been pretty solid at home this year. Yes, he’s struggled in his last three home outings (2-1 despite a 6.87 ERA). But prior to that, Hughes had gone 4-0 with a 2.90 ERA in his first five home starts. Overall, despite his recent struggles, Hughes is still 10-2 with a 3.58 in 14 starts, and the Yankees are 11-3 in those 14 games, including 7-1 at home. One of the reasons for the Yankees’ success when Hughes pitches? They average a whopping 7.4 runs, including an even 8 runs per game at home!
And here’s the best part: All 11 of New York’s victories when Hughes starts have been by more than one run. In fact, 14 of Hughes’ 15 starts have been decided by multiple runs. Then again, that’s hardly surprising since 42 of New York’s 49 victories have been by more than one run.
One more point about Hughes: He’s made four starts against Toronto since Septomber 2007 and he’s allowed just eight earned runs in 25 innings (2.88 ERA), and the Yankees won those four games by a combined score of 30-17.
Toronto has lost 10 of its last 13 games, and its anemic offense (.237 team batting average) just cannot produce runs right now (the Jays have scored three runs or fewer in seven of their last 11 games).
