(Starting Pitchers: A. Sanchez vs P. Hughes)
The Yankees won yesterday's game, where the star was Ivan Nova, who dominated! Nova is a groundball pitcher, but he was able to have 7 strikeouts against Detroit! But things will be different today, as Phil Hughes will start for the Yankees and he is coming from allowing ten earned runs in a combined of 6.2 innings in his last two starts! He is a flyball pitcher and with him pitching at NY in home games, he tends to get pounded by the long ball. He can have nice 10/1 K/BB command performances like he had against Minnesota, but that doesn't matter when he allows three homeruns at the same time! Hughes will now face Detroit in bounce back mode and they'll pound him today.
Anibal Sanchez will start for the Tigers and even though he has been decent since returning from the DL, including an excellent start against Cleveland on his last start, where he allow two earned runs in 7.2 innings, while having a 11/2 K/BB ratio! With Sanchez back at a great level, he won't have problem with a Yankees' lineup that had problems yesterday even though they were facing a struggling Rick Porcello with 2-15 RISP! Therefore, I expect an easy win for the Tigers today.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 963 Detroit Tigers RL -1 (w/ A. Sanchez) @ -130 / 1.77 on 5Dimes
