BBB Betting Tips: Yankees @ Blue Jays 3/30

By -
The Yankees hit three homers yesterday and did their part to help my over prediction, even Dellin Betances tried to help us out. Fortunately (unfortunately for this post) Luis Severino was too dominant and the over fell just short. Today our luck turns though!

New York Yankees @ Toronto Blue Jays (03/30)

Masahiro Tanaka (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. Aaron Sanchez (0-0, 0.00 ERA)

 There is a common trend in sports betting to fade the public. The Yankees are going to be favorites in almost every game this season, and unfortunately that will mean picking the Yankees outright will not always be worth the risk. The Yankees are favored today (-155) and after a performance like yesterday, have 69% of the public picking them. Vegas always wins, and that is just too high a percentage for my liking.

The number I like a lot more is the 8.5 over. Last night after the Yankees' win, the over/under was set at 9.0, and had the majority of the public grabbing the under. As a result, the line has fallen to a more comfortable 8.5. The majority of the public is still grabbing the under, but not us at Bronx Bomber Ball. Masahiro Tanaka, who has a history of struggling at Rogers Centre, has the potential to give us a home run derby, and Aaron Judge is officially due for a big day to catch Giancarlo Stanton. Grab that over.

Final Call: Take the over at 8.5 (-110)

Season Record: 0-1

Trade Market the Perfect Storm for Yankees to Acquire Starter

 UPDATE D 11/18/15 We’ve all heard it: The Yankees aren’t likely to be big spenders this offseason. Hearing this makes me chuckle as the Yankees have the dollars to field a $500 million pay roll if they wanted to, but their dedication to winning just hasn’t been there since the passing of good ole’ George. Sure little rumors have serviced here or there about them maybe pursuing Zach Greinke who has recently opted out of his contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers, but that move reeks of the move CC Sabathia pulled in opting out of his contract with the Yankees a few years back to simply restructure his contract and make a better payday.   However, instances like CC Sabathia and Masahiro Tanaka are why I believe the Yankees aren’t going to shell out big money and a long term contract for a big name starter this year. There are simply too many factors that could explode in the Pinstripes’ face when giving a long contract to a starter as evidenced by Sabathia’s fall from g...

Pride, Passion and Pinstripes: The greatest Yankees to ever touch the field

No team in baseball history has a story quite like the Yankees. 27 times they’ve found baseball Nirvana which is 16 more than the next closest team (Cardinals). 40 times have the Yankees won the American League, and that is also a major league record. The franchise won four straight championships from 1936-1939 and five straight from 1949-1953, a task no other team has ever accomplished. With all this sustained success, the team has seen some of the greatest players in league history proudly call the Bronx home. Together the Yankees could field multiple All-Star teams with their collective legends, but in this article, I’m going to try and put together a team of legends that I think would be absolutely unbeatable.   Photo Credit: Creative Commons
