    BlueJays@Yankees

    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.
    - Trends:
    # NYY are 2-7 in Wangs last 9 Thu. starts
    # Blue Jays are 4-1 in their last 5 Thursday games.
    # Blue Jays are 5-1 in their last 6 vs. a team with a losing record.
    # Blue Jays are 5-1 in their last 6 during game 3 of a series.
    # Yankees are 1-6 in Wangs last 7 starts with the total set at 7.0-8.5.
    # NYY are 6-2 in their last 8 games following a win.
    # Yankees are 4-0 in their last 4 after allowing 2 runs or less in their previous game.
    # Yankees are 6-1 in their last 7 home games.
    # Yankees are 4-1 in Wangs last 5 starts after allowing 2 runs or less in their previous game.
    # Blue Jays are 0-4 in McGowans last 4 starts vs. American League East.
    # Blue Jays are 0-5 in McGowans last 5 starts after scoring 2 runs or less in their previous game.
    # Blue Jays are 1-4 in McGowans last 5 road starts vs. a team with a losing record.

    - Umpire:
    # Yankees are 4-0 in their last 4 games with West behind home plate.


    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...?

    The Jays-Yankees game looks like something one should pass. There are compelling reasons to pick either side. One wouldn't however expect Wang to be "consistently horrible". Plus his Thursday stats is only coincidental. No pitcher decides not to pitch well on a particular day of the week. Given the home advantage, I'd rather lean toward Wang who's eager to prove he isn't as horrible as his recent record would suggest.

    McGowan and the value (+150). Toronto is 14-2 in daylight, this year.

    A dog only has value if it hits.

    NYY takes this one, GL.

    We'll use this as the official IN GAME thread so we don't clog up the forum.

    Wang two ground ball outs, like this start!

    Jeter double, Damon to third, no outs. Mench looks like he lost track of the ball.

    Sac fly Arod, 2-0 NYY, Mench almost threw Jeter out at the plate but Barajas dropped the ball.

    2-2 now. I'm on Tor ML, Tor Under 3.5, and the under for the game. A 3-2 Tor win is still possible but I'll be happy with 2/3 now.

    Should still be 2-2, Cabrera dropped an easy DP which has lead to 5 unearned runs.
