(MLB) NY Yankees vs. Kansas City,
Money Line: -140.00 NY Yankees (Away)
Result: Win
Taking the YANKEES here. You guys now that I rarely take favorites in general, and road faves even less. But I have to think we have the value and edge with Tanaka on the hill. He has a road ERA of 2.09 in 13 starts (6-3), throwing darts his last 2 starts 14.2 innings 0 runs, 11 hits, 1 BB and 14Ks. That is his only walk of the month in 34 innings (34Ks) to go with a .91 WHIP. I am not sold on Volquez last start being a something special. I mean really. 5 innings 0 earned but 2 runs. 3 hits. But when you walk a guy and give up a HR, you give up runs. He has a 5.81 ERA on this month. Opposing hitters batting .313 against him this month, .275 on the year. 1.59 August WHIP, 1.44 year. These young Yankees can rake. And this is the type of guy they will tee off on. 4* Money Maker NY YANKEES
