20 DIMER - NY YANKEES (Pettitte over Sonnanstine)
10 DIMER - CLEVELAND (Laffey over Ponson)
20 DIMER - NY YANKEES (Pettitte over Sonnanstine) - 4:05 PM
G-Man liked the way the Yankees responding after getting their butts whipped 15-5 on Monday, as New York got another solid start out of AJ Burnett to win 7-2.Look for the Yanks to follow that strong start formula again today, as Andy Pettitte got the job done in convincing fashion at Kansas City in his first start of the year, working 7 innings while allowing just 1 earned run to score.Tampa starter Andy Sonnanstine may have gone 1-0 in his 2 starts against the Yankees last year, but he did allow 11 runs in his 9 innings of work against them, and with the Yanks rapping out 11 hits in the win last night, the G-Man looks for them to add a bunch more today as they head back to the Bronx to open their new stadium with a 2-game win streak on their side.
10 DIMER - CLEVELAND INDIANS (Laffey over Ponson) - 2:10 PM
I know the Indians are 1-7 this year, but believe me, they are better than their record indicates, and today they at least get to tee off on Sidney Ponson who did lose his first start for the Royals, allowing 4 runs in 6 innings of work against the Yankees.Aaron Laffey will make his first start of the season for the Tribe, and his lone start against KC last season saw NO EARNED RUNS cross in 7 innings, but he did take the loss thanks to poor defense.Cleveland had gone 11-7 at KC prior to dropping the first pair in this 3-game set, and with the Indians having to spend the weekend in New York playing against the Yankees in their new stadium, they better win this game today.
I think they will. Take the Tribe.
Today’s Complimentary Selection
The G-Man is on 14-7 with my free plays the last 3 weeks.NBA regular season ends tonight, and I have a winner on the Clippers over the Thunder. Yes, it is a meaningless game, but the G-Man likes LA to close the season out on a winning note.Oklahoma City has lost their last pair, and 6 of their last 7 straight up, going just 2-5 against the spread in those 7 games. Overall, the Thunder has dropped 8 of their last 11 games against the spread, and their series numbers against the Clippers certainly leave a lot to be desired, as Los Angeles has won and covered the last 4 meetings, and the Clippers are also 14-3 against the spread the last 17 series meetings.Los Angeles may own just 1 straight up win their last 9 games, but based on the numbers listed above, the G-Man will side with the home team in this meaningless regular season finale.
Take LA.
