BBB Betting Tips: Yankees vs. Houston Astros (5/2)

By -

After one month of BBBetting, we sit with a positive record of 13-10-1. It was a huge turn around, after starting the season 3-8. Today is the first BBBetting of May, and as always, I anticipate we will start off with an easy win.

New York Yankees @ Houston Astros (5/2)

Luis Severino (4-1, 2.86 ERA) vs. Dallas Keuchel (1-4, 4.00 ERA)

Today should be a fantastic pitcher’s duel in Houston. For those who recall, BBBetting expected a rough outing for Luis Severino his last start in LA. He threw seven strong innings, eight strikeouts, and a no-decision. Hands up, I was wrong on that one. Severino is an absolute stud, and I will not make the mistake of expecting him to bomb again. 

Dallas Keuchel on the other side has the potential to be an absolute monster, and really has had the unfortunate Sonny Gray effect. He's had a few high scoring outings but always with minimal run support. Against a Yankee lineup like this, he easily could recreate his last outing and give up another six runs. 

I think the interesting part with today’s game is the really low over/under line. Currently it’s sitting at 7.5 runs, which is begging (and working) the public to bet the over. I think with two really good pitchers, and two really good lineups, we should take today to play a different line. 

The total hits + runs + errors line is sitting at 26. The Yankees have only sniffed that 26 number once in the past two weeks when they blew out the Angels. With these two pitchers, I don’t foresee anything like that happening. Play the fun total hits + runs + errors line under 26.

Final Call: total hits + runs + errors under 26 (-135)

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
