MLB - 969 New York Yankees @ 970 Cleveland Indians
(Starting Pitchers: F. Garcia vs U. Jimenez)
The Yankees will start Garcia today and he is coming from an outing against the White Sox, where he allowed five runs in 4.1 innings in a no decision. His recent game logs shows that he had a FIP lower 4.50 just once on his last five games, with that start being in Toronto with the Blue Jays almost presenting a AAA lineup. Just like his teammate Kuroda, Garcia struggles against LH hitters with 5.24 FIP and 4.50 xFIP and therefore, I wouldn't be surprised one bit if Garcia struggles today against the Indians lineup full of lefties, especially when the Indians roster is hitting .339 BA and .932 OPS in AB's against him.
Cleveland will start Jimenez today and he is clearly struggling right now. His fastball has been terrible and with the Yankees being the best team in the league in hitting fastballs, Jimenez is into some big trouble today, especially when the Yankees are needing a bounce back on offense after struggling on their hitting in the first two games of this series. Jimenez has had some terrible outings already in August against the Angels and Detroit, therefore I believe the Yankees will also take advantage of Jimenez's struggles and pound him big time today.
With Garcia struggling against Cleveland's LH batters and with Jimenez being likely to have a nightmare outing against the Yankees, I believe this will be a high-scoring game and so, I'll be taking the Over in here.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 969/970 Over 9 (w/ F. Garcia & U. Jimenez) @ -120 / 1.83 on Bookmaker
