The Twins get swept at home and come in to Yankee stadium where they have 7-33 record over the last 40 and put a beating on the yankees with Pavano on the mound? Pavano was the first starter for the Twins to win a game this season and it happens to be at New York. I know going back to the well here isnt a good idea but Liriano has looked horrible to start the year and Yankee hitters have done well off him. Liriano is 0-2 at Yankee stadium with an ERA over 4 in his times here and he got shelled against Baltimore and the Angels to start the year.
Liriano had a tough year last year coming off an injury and I think Sabathia, who usually starts slow, should be able to settle down here after few rough starts against Tampa and Baltimore. I read a stat this morning that the twins havent beaten the yankees back to back in New york since 2000-2001, and Sabathias numbers have been incredible against Minnesota. Sabathia is 8-0 over his last 9 starts against the Twins with a 1.72 ERA.
It looks like Morneau may have the day off because of his numbers against CC, I am hoping the lefty can have a better showing against the twins and the Yankees can continue their dominance here at home over Minnesota.
Thanks onacloud. Good luck tonight, I love this card tonight. I like getting the cardinals even at -122 and the Giants and the Braves off a loss at home,the Giants with Bumgarner on the mound tonight .
The Braves may not have to see alot of Santana tonight, probably have him on a low pitch count and I still don't think he is where he should be. I dont see the mets winning 5 straight off the Braves this year.
