BBB Betting Tips: Yankees vs. Cleveland Indians (5/4)

By -

A little early in the month I know, but this blog is all about the numbers. In the month of May BBBetting has never lost. The Yankees return home from their successful road trip, and with a beautiful night in the Bronx ahead of us, I foresee this trend continuing.

Cleveland Indians @ New York Yankees (05/04)

Josh Tomlin (0-4, 9.16 ERA) vs. CC Sabathia (2-0, 1.71 ERA)

Josh Tomlin has absolutely struggled this season. He has only had two outings where he has given up less than five runs, one of which he only lasted an inning. He has given up 10 home runs in five games, giving up four homers twice. Tonight he faces the Yankees who have 44 homers this season, and have their rock CC Sabathia on the mound. 

This should be an easy pick with all that said. The issue comes with where the public money is sitting, and the current odds. 74% of the money is being placed on the Indians, while only 44% of the public is betting on them. With the Yankees being so heavily favored (-200) this is a messy combination. I believe in CC, and the bookmakers clearly do too. Double up on the Yankees ML, and enjoy some fireworks. 

Final Call: Yankees ML 2U (-200)

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
