Tips and Trends
New York Yankees at Toronto Blue Jays
Yankees: The Yankees dropped the first three games of a four-game road series against the White Sox before finally winning Sunday’s finale, 8-5. Since New York’s hurlers were tagged for 32 runs during the four-game set, it not surprising the ‘over’ went 3-1. Andy Pettitte will get the ball for New York in Tuesday’s opener of this brief two-game set. The veteran southpaw received another tough no-decision on July 30 at Chicago, hurling six innings of one-run ball before taking an unfortunate slip on the infield that set up Chicago’s go-ahead run. The Yankees eventually suffered a 3-2 loss, lowering their record to 13-8 in Pettitte’s first 21 starts. However, the ‘under’ improved to 14-7 when Pettitte takes the mound. In his past three starts, Pettitte has limited opponents to six earned runs in 20 innings, a 2.70 ERA, with little to show for it. Pettitte has split two starts against the Blue Jays this season, allowing a combined eight runs on 10 hits in 12 innings. The success occurred on May 13 when he allowed two runs on five hits in six innings en route to an 8-2 win as a $1.02 road favorite. Both starts against Toronto have leaped ‘over’ the closing total.
The Over is 8-3 in the Yankees’ last 11 road games.
Key Injuries - None
PROJECTED SCORE: 3
Blue Jays (-$1.45 O/U 8 under -$1.15): Toronto returns home after going 3-3 during a six-game West Coast excursion through Oakland and Seattle. The last three games against the A’s all jumped ‘over’ the closing total. The Blue Jays are 29-23 through their first 52 home games, but just 15-22 against southpaw starters and 12-20 in one-run games. Extra innings also doesn’t seem to agree with the Jays, evidenced by a 4-10 mark. Roy Halladay (11-4, 2.68 ERA) makes his third start against the Yanks this season. Halladay, whose name was included in countless trade rumors, remains the ace of Toronto's rotation. Lately, the right-hander has been taking the hill without the luxury of run support. Over his past four starts, in which Halladay has fashioned a 2.25 ERA, he has posted a 1-2 record due to having just nine runs from his offense. Halladay has just one win over his past seven outings and is 1-3 with a 3.00 ERA during that span. He is 1-1 against the Yanks this season. The success occurred May 12 when he registered a 5-1 win as $1.27 home favorite. Holliday allowed just one run on five hits in a complete-game effort that required just 103 pitches. Curiously, the Blue Jays are just 11-9 in Holliday’s first 20 starts, with the ‘over’ also going 11-9.
The Under is 11-2-2 in Toronto’s last 15 home games.
Key Injuries - None
PROJECTED SCORE: 4 (UNDER - Total of the Day)
