20* No Doubt Rout on NY Yankees -138
The Yankees rolled on the Rays last night and I'm expecting more of the same tonight, especially with these two starters on the mound. Yankees' starter C.C. Sabathia hasn't been completely dominant, but he continues to pitch very well, particularly on the road. Sabathia is 10-6 on the season with a 3.67 ERA and 1.16 WHIP in 21 starts, including 6-4 on the road with a 3.33 ERA and 1.07 WHIP. Scott Kazmir gets the call for the Rays and while he was once one of their most reliable starters, he has fallen on hard times this season. Kazmir is just 4-6 on the year with a 6.69 ERA and 1.72 WHIP and that includes a 1-3 record with a 9.50 ERA and 1.89 WHIP in 7 starts in Tampa Bay this season. Offensively the Yankees are hitting as well as any team in baseball over the last 7 days, going 6-1 with a team batting average of .308 while scoring 6.9 runs per game. The Rays' bats, on the other hand, have been ice cold over the past week, where they are 3-4 as a team while hitting just .201 and scoring only 3.6 runs per game. The Yankees are making a strong push since the All-Star break and should continue to roll Tuesday night in Tampa.

NY Yankees at Tampa Bay 7:08pm EST
Selection: NY YANKEES -137
Profile: The Yankees offense has been absolutely dominating lately, including another big performance last night. Now they get to face struggling lefty Scott Kazmir, who has been hit hard by several teams this year. In addition, the Yankees hit lefties very well and have had success against Kazmir in his career. New York has C.C. Sabathia taking the mound, who has pitched well lately. He has traditionally been a great pitcher in the second half of the season, and he has been able to pitch well on the road. Sabathia goes deep into games as well, limiting the impact that the bullpen will have. However, the Yankees bullpen has also been pitching well lately. Look for New York to continue their hot hitting against the struggling Kazmir.

LA Dodgers at St. Louis 8:15pm EST
Selection: ST. LOUIS -115
Profile: St. Louis appears to be very motivated for this series, especially with the addition of Matt Holliday. They have righty Adam Wainright taking the mound tonight, and he has pitched very well this season, especially at home. He has given up two runs or less in ten out of his last eleven starts this season at home. Wainright also goes very deep into his outings, limiting the effect that the bullpen will have on the game. Meanwhile, his opposing starter, Chad Billingsley, is in poor current form. He has a 9.24 ERA and a 2.05 ERA in his last 3 starts, mainly because of getting hammered by Milwaukee and Houston. He did have a good outing in his last start, but it was against the struggling Cincinnati Reds. The better line-ups, LA Angels, Houston, Milwaukee, and the Chicago White Sox, he has faced have hit him fairly well lately. Look for St. Louis to get the win.
