From Rotoworld: Sabathia shut out the Red Sox for eight innings, allowing just five hits, in the Yankees’ 8-0 win Friday. Sabathia had a 1.47 ERA in his first three starts, a 9.58 ERA in his next four and now a 1.11 ERA in his last five. He’s probably going to start giving up more homers — it’s hard not to in Yankee Stadium — but his current 3.66 ERA doesn’t seem all that outlandish given his peripherals.
Ramirez won despite giving up four runs and 10 hits in five innings Thursday against the Tigers. Ramirez has allowed 11 runs, four homers and 18 hits over 9 1/3 innings in his last two starts. He’s made some real progress this year and it looks like he’ll last as a starter, but he was never a good bet for mixed-league value.
Bet Tonight’s Yankees vs. Angels Game
OUR PREDICTION: The Yankees have won four of five in Los Angeles, 19 of 26 against the Angels, and are 6-2 in Sabathia’s last eight starts versus the Halos. New York is also 5-0 in Sabathia’s last five outings, is 5-2 in his last seven road starts, and is 35-16 in his last 51 outings versus American League West rivals. The Angels, meanwhile, have dropped four of their last five home games.
