MLB Premium Play 07/09: Kansas City Royals @ New York Yankees

MLB - 967 Kansas City Royals @ 968 New York Yankees

(Starting Pitchers: J. Shields vs C. Sabathia)

James Shields will start for the Royals tonight and I took the Under on his last outing against Cleveland, but he was very erratic in that game. Shields allowed five runs in 5.1 innings in that outing and the truth is that he has a 6.48 ERA over his last three games! He has been quite hittable, his command has been poor as well and so, his advanced numbers are consequently also suffering a lot. The Yankees may not be hitting well right now, but they should still be able to do some damage against the struggling Shields tonight.

The NY team will start C.C. Sabathia tonight and I believe he has been having an underrated season. He is coming from allowing just two runs on seven innings against the Twins and I believe that the main reason why he has been struggling a bit this season is due to his very tough schedule: @MIN; @BAL; vs TB; @LAA; @OAK; vs CLE! The Royals won't be such a tough opponent for him and I believe Sabathia will have another good performance tonight. Kansas City won yesterday's game, so this is a nice bounce back spot for the Yankees to pick up a comfortable win on a revenge spot for them. I'm taking the Yankees tonight.

Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on 968 New York Yankees ML (w/ C. Sabathia) @ -137 / 1.73 on 5Dimes
