MLB Premium Card 06/20

MLB - 913 Chicago White Sox @ 914 Minnesota Twins

(Starting Pitchers: J. Danks vs S. Diamond)

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 914 Minnesota Twins ML (w/ S. Diamond) @ -118 / 1.85 on Bovada



MLB - 919 Tampa Bay Rays @ 920 New York Yankees

(Starting Pitchers: M. Moore vs A. Pettitte)

Tampa Bay is starting Matt Moore tonight, who after a great start of the season is now regressing big time. His advanced stats weren't supporting his great outings at the start of the season, so it was a question of time until he started regressing and that has happened on his last three starts, where he has allowed a combined of 19 runs on a 12.1 innings span! His 11/11 K/BB on these three starts combined also don't impress anybody. Even though he is a LH pitcher, he is struggling more against LH batters than RH batters this season, it isn't a surprise that the Yankees are using a lineup tonight full of left-handed players:

1. Brett Gardner (L) CF
2. Jayson Nix (R) 3B
3. Robinson Cano (L) 2B
4. Travis Hafner (L) DH
5. Vernon Wells (R) LF
6. Ichiro Suzuki (L) RF
7. Lyle Overbay (L) 1B
8. Chris Stewart (R) C
9. Reid Brignac (L) SS

On the other hand, the Yankees are starting Andy Pettitte, who struggled against the Angels on his last outing with four runs allowed in seven innings. Even with these struggles on his last start, he is being consistent lately with a FIP always below 4.00 on his last five outings. The Rays' lineup is known for pounding LH pitchers, but they are just hitting .238 BA vs LHP on their last 10 games, so I believe the veteran Pettitte will be able to do some good damage control in here. With Moore getting pounded once again, I expect the Yankees to pick up a comfortable win tonight.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 920 New York Yankees ML (w/ A. Pettitte) @ -107 / 1.93 on Bovada
