Game Watch
1. Yankees @ Athletics -
Nestor Cortes Jr. (2-1, 2.56) vs. Frankie Montas (9-9, 3.84)
Montas struck out nine batters over seven shutout innings with two hits and two walks allowed in a no-decision as the A's lost 2-1 against the Giants on Sunday. It was one of his best starts of the season.
With the A's having enjoyed success against the Yankees in Oakland and Montas due for a win, avoid this one like the plague as we are certainly not backing Oakland at this time.
1. Royals @ Mariners
Daniel Lynch (4-3, 4.74) vs. Tyler Anderson (1-0, 3.00)
Total is 8.5.
KC has been playing well of late and have scored 5 or more runs in six of their last eight games. They have only permitted over 4 runs in three of their last ten games.
Lynch allowed just one run over five innings on Monday in a win over the Astros and, prior to that, just one run on four hits over seven innings in Tuesday's 3-1 win over the Astros. He is coming off of four straight wins.
Anderson surrendered two runs over 5 1/3 innings on Sunday in a no-decision against the Astros and had a win prior to that game.
Seattle has scored 5 or more runs in half of their last ten games while allowing 6 or more, including two games against the Astros that resulted in 12 and 15 runs, respectively.
Recap
That one hurt last night as we put an end to a 6-game win streak. Heading into the 9th inning of the Yankees-Athletics game the score still had the total at 7 and we were on the UNDER 7.5 before the A's closer allowed a home run.
