Looking to improve on 1-1 for the week, we're heading over to the Big Apple with our free play of the day...
New York Yankees vs Oakland Athletics over 9 @ -125 (1.8)
So far this series the New York Yankees have crushed Athletics pitchers for a total of 20 runs in the first two games of the series. Previous to this series the Yankees offence had slowed down a bit, but its impossible to keep the pinstripes down forever, and now they are making up for lost time. The Yankees potent lineup faces Brett Anderson tonight. In limited action the Yankees have some decent numbers against Anderson with Jeter hitting .500 over 10 AB's, as well as Teixeira and Posada hitting .333 in 9AB's.
Pitching for the Yankees is the struggling A.J. Burnett who absolutely cannot find any consistency this season. His last 3 appearances have been awful going 0-3 with a 7.36 ERA. Even one of Burnett's strengths, the strikeout, has been struggling as hes only thrown 13 in the last 18 innings. Burnett has shown no signs of getting out of his slump, and this combined with the Yankees stellar offence makes the 9 total in this game a solid pick.
Take the Athletics vs Yankees game over 9.
