Sunday Night Baseball Free Pick
(The Spread) – Interleague play continues on Sunday night with a matchup between the Yankees and Cubs. Will it be a low-scoring affair?

Pitching Matchup: Tonight’s pitching matchup will feature ace CC Sabathia versus Chicago’s Randy Wells. Sabathia is 8-4 on the year with a 3.28 ERA, while Wells is 1-1 with a 5.62 ERA over just 24 innings.

MLB Free Pick: The Yankees have the clear-cut advantage but I don’t recommend lying –178 on the money line. There’s just not enough value in the bet, even though the Yankees may cruise. The value in tonight’s game is in the total. According to latest MLB trends, the under is 4-0 in the last four meetings between these two teams and 4-1 in the last five meetings between these two teams in Chicago. With Sabathia on the hill the usually offensive challenged Cubs should struggle to score runs. Take the under.
