Who gonna win? Can the Yanks build on their last win? Another horrible start from Wang? Is it a no pick?
McGowan(R) vs Wang(R). Wang has been horrible L3 starts. 7 ER(Mets), 5 ER(Mariners) and 5 ER(@Twins) in his last start. In his L3 games he got a 7.91 ERA, 1.66 WHIP in 19.1 innings. McGowan is a nother story with 2 ER(Angels), 1 ER(Royals) and 3 ER(@Angels) in his last start. In his L3 McGowan got a 2.79 ERA, 1.34 WHIP in 19.1 innings. The Yanks pen isn't good(7.23 L3) so I think that Wang have to pitch a good game and hold out around 7 innings, if not it might be another ugly game for the Yanks pen(game 1). L10 games the Jays got a 2.35 ERA total(start + rel) while the Yanks got a 4.93 ERA total. The Yanks got the better batting L10, but the Jays got a better run production. They'v been hitting .291 against RHP with 4.04 R/9. The Jays are itting .267 vs RHP with 5.02 R/9.

Cause of the Jays L10 R/9, the bullpens, the pitching matchup and Wangs horrible L3 starts im leaning on the Jays also in this one. BUT I don't like trends, how the Yanks have been at home lately and the fact that I think the Yanks can build on their win yesterday...
What's your thoughts about this matchup...?
