The visitors hand the ball to Kyle Gibson (8-9, 3.75 ERA) who looked decent after a horrendous outing by going six innings and allowing two runs on seven hits vs. the Rangers on Tuesday. Gibson has been hit-or-miss for a while though, previous to his last outing he'd give up eight runs in a brutal start and had allowed a combined 21 earned runs over his past four trips to the mound. Not surprisingly, Gibson is just 3-5 with a 4.57 ERA on the road this season. The home side counters with CC Sabathia (4-9, 5.23 ERA) who is also coming off a decent outing, giving up two runs off nine hits over six innings in a 2-1 loss to the Tribe on Wednesday. But just like Gibson, Sabathia's performance has been all over the map this season, he's been trading good starts with bad for a while now, his ERA has been stuck on the 5.00 ERA mark for each of the last three months and unfortunately a date at home is not what the doctor ordered to get untracked as he's a horrible 2-3 with a ballooned 6.13 ERA in The Big Apple. For the most part MLB handicapping comes down to the starting pitching and with each of these hurlers coming into this one struggling, there's no question that the OVER becomes a very legitimate investment opportunity.
