BBB Betting Tips: Yankees vs. Los Angeles Angels (4/29)

By -

10-2-1 over the last 13 games, and just like the Yankee’s themselves, BBBetting appears unstoppable. Not even a West Coast road trip seems to be enough to slow us down, and tonight on Baseball’s biggest stage, I am excited to keep this rolling.

New York Yankees @ Los Angeles Angels (04/29)

CC Sabathia (1-0, 1.86 ERA) vs. Tyler Skaggs (3-1, 2.96 ERA)

The Yankees are good at baseball. I think after a turbulent start, it is officially safe to say it.  Ultimately this means the Yankees are favored in almost every start, and if they aren’t initially favored, eventually the line will shift. Today was a prime example of it, the Yankees opened as underdogs and had the spread of +1.5 (-190) looking extremely enticing. Apparently, I wasn’t the only one that thought so as the spread has entirely shifted, and now the Yankees are favored and have a tough spread of -1.5 (+101). 

I think a big night deserves something this blog hasn’t had the pleasure of attempting yet, and that is the first half spread. Most bookmakers offer first five innings, last four innings, and of course the complete game spreads. Looking around I found a favorable first five spread of +0.5 (-121). For a team that the public is loving and with CC Sabathia, who has been a rock, on the mound, it seems like the right decision.

Final Call: +0.5 in first 5 spread (-121)

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
