AAA's VERY EARLY SITUATIONAL PITCHING MISMATCH!
(MLB) Seattle vs. NY Yankees,
Money Line: -150.00 NY Yankees (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 6* SITUATIONAL PITCHING MISMATCH on the New York Yankees.

The visitors hand the ball Hisashi Iwakuma (1-1, 5.22 ERA) who is coming off his best outing so far since returning from the DL, blanking the Angels over eight innings in his team's eventual 5-0 victory last Saturday. It was just his second start of the season and clearly Iwakuma benefited from throwing in front of the home town crowd, throwing in New York is an entirely different thing though, note that he's posted a 7.20 ERA away from friendly confines. The home side counters with Michael Pineda (9-5, 3.64 ERA) who is also coming off a dominating performance, giving up one run off six scattered hits over 6 2/3's innings over Boston on Friday. Pineda has now given up just one run over his last two starts spanning 13 2/3's innings of work, while allowing just three earned runs over his last 21 2/3's innings played. Pineda and the Yankees have to be feeling pretty confident in this spot as well as he's 4-2 with a respectable 3.21 ERA in front of the home town crowed this season. I'm giving Pineda the nod on the bump and that's more than enough to tip the scales in our favor, lay the price with confidence on the YANKEES.
