MLB Betting Lines – Free Pick: Buehrle 1-11 vs. Yankees

Gambling911.com was clobbered yesterday after having gone on quite the run over the past two weeks.  Today’s free pick appears below our look at hot pitcher and team trends.

Pitchers

Pittsburgh's Charlie Morton is 2-0 when starting against Colorado with an ERA of 3.16 and a WHIP of 1.341.

LA's Zach Greinke is 2-0 when starting against San Francisco with an ERA of 2.96 and a WHIP of 1.192.

Toronto's Mark Buehrle is a disastrous 1-11 when starting against the Yankees with an ERA of 5.81 and a WHIP of 1.528.

The Royals Yordano Ventura is 2-0 when starting against Cleveland with an ERA of 1.29 and a WHIP of 1.000.

The Yankees are 6-2 in Hiroki Kuroda's last 8 starts vs. Toronto with a 3.86 ERA and a WHIP of 1.286.

Teams

Cardinals/Cubs OVER 7-1 this season.

Now let’s get to our free pick.

How can we not be on the New York Yankees -130.  A decent price all things considered.

As noted above,

The Yankees RH Hiroki Kuroda (6-6, 3.88) is 6-2 in his last eight starts against Toronto while the Blue Jays LH Mark Buehrle (10-6, 2.86 ERA) has been crushed by New York in the past.

Buehrle began the season 10-1 in his first 12 outings and has since gone winless in his last eight turns with much of that having to do with poor run support.  Buehrle's Yankees woes continued this season as he gave up 7 runs the last time he faced the ball club.

Kuroda will enter this game with two back-to-back quality starts though he failed to factor into the decision in his last appearance against Cincinnati.

Toronto are just 13-41 in the last 54 meetings in New York.  The Yankees won all three of the games they hosted against the Blue Jays last month.

The Yankees are 14-6 in Kuroda's last 20 starts as a home favorite.

The Blue Jays are 1-7 in their last 8 games as a road underdog of +110 to +150.
