BBB Betting Tips: Yankees vs. Marlins (4/16)

By -

It has taken a few weeks, but both the Yankees bats and this blog are finally showing some life. With the win a few nights ago, the curse of this blog picking the Yankees outright was lifted, and it continued the recent betting hot streak. Assuming the rain holds off, today we keep the ride going.

Miami Marlins @ New York Yankees (04/16)

Caleb Smith (0-1, 4.73 ERA) vs. Luis Severino (2-1, 3.50 ERA)

The Yankees ace against a terrible Marlins team alone screams blow out. The fact the Yankees have had two days off and are coming home as well rested as possible, screams blow out. The rain in the Bronx is where the only potential question mark lies. 

I want to say grab the spread, and watch the Yankees win in a large fashion. The problem is the rain and a wind blowing in from the outfield makes it a little bit shaky. The series against Baltimore showed how much the Yankees bats struggle when the wind is knocking the ball down. Having said all of that, the Marlins are pitiful. Derek Jeter is avoiding the game because he knows how ugly this can get. For the first time this season, I think the right call is doubling up the units, and pick the Yankees money line. 

It’s a riskier play, with a higher investment a lot more is lost if the Yankees lose, but they really should not lose. Teams with a -300+ line are there because they have to somehow try and stop people from betting on a clear favorite. This strategy won't work here, double up, grab the money line.

Final Call: 2U Yankees ML (-315)

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
