BBB Betting Tips: Red Sox vs. Yankees (5/8)

By -

Tonight is the beginning of what should be an incredibly fun series. The Red Sox are still a game up on the Yankees and hold the best record in baseball. With that said, no team is hotter than these New York Yankees.  BBBetting has continued its hot streak as well, and tonight we look to keep it going.

Boston Red Sox @ New York Yankees (05/08)

Drew Pomeranz (1-1, 6.14 ERA) vs. Luis Severino (5-1, 2.11 ERA)

The line tonight is an absolute nightmare for everyone outside of Boston. The Yankees are beyond heavily favored, sitting at -220 currently. Even the spread has them as big favorites (-1.5, -105). I get it, the Yankees appear to be unstoppable, and Mookie Betts (while in the lineup) is not fully healthy. The line is a bit unfair to the team with the best record in baseball, and with this rivalry I see it more as a tossup. 

With Luis Severino on the mound, the game should be a low scoring affair. Pomeranz has not looked great, but I just keep going back to the rivalry. It goes against everything this blog has been about, just following the numbers. My gut tells me it’s a one run game, and Yankees come out on top. Grab the Boston spread, best bang for your buck for a one run game. 

Final Call: BOS +1.5(-115)

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
