Best bet for tonight's game is Young -115 over ARod Hits, Runs, & RBIs.
Reasoning:
- ARod has been terrible lately, especially against RHP, while Fister finished the season strong with a 2.34 ERA and <1.0 WHIP in September. On the year RH hitters are hitting .220 off him.
-Young is hitting .308 vs. LHP and Pettitte is at .245 vs. Righties.
-Girardi has shown that he won't hesitate to pinch hit for A-Rod if he struggles in his first 2-3 at bats.
-Delmon is hitting 5th vs. A-Rod 6th. Small advantage, but definitely tangible. Young is also slotted behind the 2 best hitters in this series, meaning there's a good chance he's put in good situations with runners on base.
-Young is 11/19 vs. Pettitte (.579). Small sample size, but good to see and Young should be confident facing him.
