    Why Yankees line so low tomorrow?

    Just looking on paper, Yankees 3 games over .500, playing team with losing record on year and game being played in Yankee stadium. Opposing pitcher 0-5 and gives up more WHIP then Yankees starter. All that and I see Yankees at the bargain price of -137??

    What gives?? This one screams fade Yankees here right??

    He's decent vs left handed pitching? How does one quantify that?

    Interested to see if Cole can improve to the pretty high standards he set for himself last year. So far this season he's off last year's numbers mainly because he BB/9 is up significantly. Might hop on this late depending on who's in the lineups. Some regulars bound to sit one of the two games.

    Records mean nothing in baseball at this time of the year. Just cap starters.

    Kuroda has been one of the worst pitchers in baseball for the last month, and nuno had one good outing vs angels and then got rocked 2-3 straight times . It will be a split , idk who wins what game Thoe so I'm staying away

    Yankees lead all time series 8-2 and have never lost at home 6-0...not a bad trend although they dont play the pirates too often

    sorry, meant LHB. yankees rock the most left handed batting in the league. morton's splits indicate that he's better vs LHB than RHB (marginally)

    of course these are numbers, take into account intangibles like pitching at yankee stadium. I don't believe morton is a stud at all though

    if any of you have the pirates and are deciding that if they lose game 1 that they will come back game 2, please think away

    Jeter and Ellsbury are not playing game 2.

    After getting hit by a pitch, I doubt Tex does as well.

    For someone who claims to watch a lot MLB I sometimes wonder what you actually look at while watching it.
    He's pure garbage.
    You must be a Pirates fan to say that.

    Morton has very good stuff but he has a problem controlling it. He got shelled for 4 early then coasted through the lineup. Weird guy.
