Schule's MLB BEAST of the AL EAST - NYY@TOR
(MLB) NY Yankees vs. Toronto, 05/06/2015 3:07 PM, Score: 1 - 5
Money Line: 101.00 Toronto (Home)
Result: Win
This is a 10* play on the Toronto Blue Jays.

The Jays still sit dead last in the AL East, despite owning the highest scoring offense in the majors. They are still in striking distance though, only 4.5 games back of first place New York.

C.C. Sabathia will toe the slab for the Bronx Bombers, and he's still in search of his first win of the season. Sabathia (0-3, 5.40 ERA) allowed a pair of runs on seven hits and a pair of walks over six innings in a no decision at Boston his last time out. It was easily his best performance of the season, but one of his worst came in his season debut versus Toronto. The Jays tagged him for five runs on eight hits in 5 2/3 innings in that game.

The Jays hand the ball to Mark Buehrle, who hasn't had a lot of success against the New York. Buehrle (3-2, 6.75 ERA) is coming off back to back road losses. He's been better at home, where he's 2-0 with a 4.50 ERA. He was 0-4 with a 6.73 ERA in four starts versus the Yankees last year, but three of those games were played in the Bronx.

Because Sabathia has been so bad, I am willing to overlook Buerhle's past struggles against this Yankee team.

Take TOR.
