Athletics: Apart from home field advantage this is a dead even matchup. Triggs and Pineda both rank exactly 72.5 and both are 6-3 for both wins and quality starts. Do the math any way you want, or just go by gut feeling and admiration for the Yankees, but the A’s have a slightly higher offensive probability today, and it is enough to offset the Yankees hfa. Coin flip game. Possible profitability on the A’s is 120% better than the Yankees. Your money, your choice.
Royals: Tomlin can’t carry Duffy’s jock strap and the Royals are likely to be a bit pizzed over the ejections yesterday. For the “won’t get swept at home” crowd, were you paying attention to Cleveland at Houston last week? And, the Astros are the best team in MLB right now, hands down. If it can happen to them it can happen to anyone.
Rays: I don’t know how anyone in his right mind can back the worst regular rotation pitcher in MLB right now. Kyle Gibson is an absolute joke at 0-7 for quality starts and a pathetic 39.0 skills rating. There isn’t enough home field advantage in the world to carry Gibson, only a miracle would work.
