BBB Betting Tips: Rays @ Yankees 4/4

By -

Yesterday we found out Sir Didi Gregorius is another avid reader of this blog. He knew how badly we needed a win and decided to take it upon himself to make sure we got back on track.  The hope is that we get a whole lot more of Didi shrugging like Jordan this season. It’s good for the Yankees, it’s good for baseball, and more importantly, it’s good for this blog.

Tampa Bay Rays @ New York Yankees (04/04)

Blake Snell (0-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. Luis Severino (1-0, 0.00 ERA)

Today is a perfect storm of overreaction for the betting lines. The Yankees opened yesterday as big favorites, but after a dominant win the line has sky rocketed to -240. Taking a look at the spread, -1.5 the Yankees still are favored at -130. The public clearly is all over the Yanks, with 85% taking the -240 money line. It’s insane, and way too high to bet on. The Yankees have their ace going today and stand a good chance to win. The issue is the amount of money that would have to be bet to make anything is not worth the risk. 

That directs us elsewhere: the over/under. Currently the line sits at eight runs. Blake Snell and Luis Severino both looked fantastic in their first starts. I anticipate they both keep that going this afternoon, and the Yankees win in a low scoring affair. Grab the under, and enjoy a great pitching duel.   

Final Call: Under 8 (-110)

Season Record: 2-3

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
