MLB - 963 New York Yankees @ 964 Minnesota Twins
(Starting Pitchers: A. Pettitte vs S. Diamond)
Andy Pettitte will start for the Yankees tonight and he has been excellent versus LH batters this season with 1.62 FIP and 2.86 xFIP. He struggled a bit in previous outings against Cleveland, Tampa Bay and the LA Angels, but these are teams that generally hit extremely well versus LH pitchers like Pettitte. Minnesota will use the following lineup tonight with four LH batters, so I don't them to put Pettitte in danger a lot tonight:
1. Clete Thomas (L) CF
2. Brian Dozier (R) 2B
3. Ryan Doumit (S) C
4. Josh Willingham (R) DH
5. Justin Morneau (L) 1B
6. Trevor Plouffe (R) 3B
7. Oswaldo Arcia (L) LF
8. Chris Parmelee (L) RF
9. Eduardo Escobar (S) SS
On the other hand, Simon Diamond will start for the Twins tonight and he is clearly struggling right now. He faced Miami (#28 vs LHP), the White Sox (#29 vs LHP) and Washington (#30 vs LHP) in three of his last four starts and he still struggle in those games. This is a clear sign that Diamond is slumping right now and so, even the struggling lineup of the Yankees should be able to put him in danger in here. I see the NY team bouncing back tonight after a loss yesterday on Sunday Night Baseball and so, I'll be taking the Yankees in here.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 963 New York Yankees ML (w/ A. Pettitte) @ -112 / 1.89 on 5Dimes
