For the Guy who posted Nover yesterday thank you.
Tonight he is on Texas and Oakland.
Faced without an off day during their current 10-game road trip, the Yankees are in trouble with this matchup. That's because manager Joe Girardi is forced to give a spot start to washed-up journeyman Chris Capuano.
Capuano posted an 0-3 mark and 6.39 ERA in his last three starts, which happened back in May. The Yankees saw enough to keep him out of the rotation putting him in the bullpen where Capuano wasn't any better with a 5.09 ERA in 12 appearances.
New York is 1-5 the past six times Capuano has started.
Rangers starter Martin Perez is making his third start since reco‰vering from Tommy John surgery. He'll be pumped for this, his first home start since returning from injury. Perez didn't have good stats during his last start this past Wednesday against Colorado, but he was hurt by pitching at Coors Field and having ground balls find holes.
Analysis: Oakland is a dead team, but the A's are very much live here thanks to Sonny Gray being on the mound and being in a good situational spot.
The A's have won Gray's last six road starts. That's not a surprise considering Gray is 7-1 with a 1.84 ERA in 11 road outings this season. I expect him to pitch his best game since All-Star break now that he's making his third start since then and is back in rhythm.
This is the Dodgers' first game back on the West Coast after playing 10 consecutive games - three road series - all on East Coast time. LA's offense hasn't been any better than the A's as the Dodgers are batting only .223 during their last six games.
Brett Anderson hasn't been sharp in his last three starts going 0-1 with a 5.52 ERA. He also suffered an Achilles injury when pitching this past Tuesday against the Braves. The fragile Anderson's health always is a concern.

King Creole | MLB Total Tue, 07/28/15 – 7:10 PM
dime bet – 954 Mia / 953 WAS – UNDER 6.5
Analysis:
7:10pmET – 4:10pm PT / #954
Washington Nationals w/ Zimmerman @ Miami Marlins w/ Fernandez
1* Play on: UNDER the TOTAL
Down here in South Florida, it’s really HOT these days. But not as hot as Marlins pitcher Jose Fernandez. Since returning from Tommy John surgery on July 2nd, Fernandez has looked like he hasn’t missed a game. In four starts, his ERA is 2.76. And his K/BB ratio has been 32 to 3. He will be taking on a Nationals team that has struggled to score runs as of late. Fernandez has faced Washington twice in the last three years. His ERA is a PERFECT 0.00 in those two starts (14 innings / 0 earned runs). And don’t forget. If you are hankering to bet a ‘Side’ in this game. Fernandez has NEVER LOST AT HOME IN HIS CAREER! His counterpart (Jordan Zimmerman) is also in very good current form. Since late June, Zimmerman has allowed more than 3 earned runs just once. His ERA in that recent six-start period is just 2.32. He’s had great success against these Marlins as well. Zimmerman’s ERA versus Miami is just 1.54 in five starts over the last two years. MARLINS: 0-4 O/U last four overall, 7-21-3 O/U off a loss, 1-5 O/U in Game One of a series, 7-15 O/U last 22 roles as a favorite, 2-6-1 O/U on Tuesdays.
