AAA's AFTERNOON 5-GAME MLB DESTRUCTION PASS (B2B 5-GAME CA$HES!)
(MLB) Detroit vs. NY Yankees,
Money Line: -210.00 NY Yankees (Home)
Result: Loss
This is a 5* play on the New York Yankees.

Sometimes a favorite is a favorite for a reason and in this case, we absolutely believe that Masahiro Tanaka and the hard-hitting home side could/should easily be much larger ones:

Jordan Zimmermann: He's 6-8 with a 5.69 ERA. Zimmermann most recently allowed three runs off six hits in a no-decision against the Astros on Friday. To go along with his horrible 5.69 ERA, Zimmerman also sports a poor 1.51 WHIP (in July he had a 1.58 WHIP and 6.23 ERA.) While he's a somewhat respectable 5-3 with a 4.64 ERA at home, Zimmermann is just 1-5 with a 6.67 ERA on the road.

Tanaka: He's 8-9 with a 5.09 ERA. Tanaka comes in off a gem against Tampa Bay on Friday, giving up one run off two hits while striking out 14 across eight frames in the eventual victory. Note that the Japanese hurler has been much better at home (4-0, 3.12) compared to on the road (0-3, 6.49).

The bottom line: Recent form displayed by these two starting pitchers suggests that Zimmermann has another long afternoon in store for him. Play on the YANKEES.
