I think the Yankees are in for a disappointing West Coast road trip

You are a legendary poster and the info and details are outstanding.  I think the yankees lose 2 of 3 to Dodgers.

Win 2 of 3 or all 3 in Seattle.  Oakland, I have no feel for but I will take a hard look later.  5-4 or 4-5 is still really good alert for a team

hitting the way Yankees do.  I bet against them Sunday and won for fun.  No problem fading the poor pitching or taking a solid pitcher against them 

at better than true odds.  Bailey did well vs Yankees recently, probably join you tonight but fading German is no joke, in Boston he looked really good on road.

"German is not nearly as good (on the road) as he's perceived to be and that Homer Bailey (at home) is not as bad as he's perceived to be."

Bingo!

I do concur interesting & encouraging write up weighing BOTH sides much respect to mah man Mr. Bator.

Great write-up. What do you think about taking the A's team total over 4 @-120?

Great writeup per usual from Senor Bator, the legend. This is the type of insightful analysis and anatomy (and free) this forum desperately yearns for....I will def keep my eye on this road trip.

Good stuff Bator

Hope Oakland wins but will probably be on the over because Bailey on 5 days rest is about 6.50 ERA

Did you watch his last outing against San Fran? He was pretty crisp 6IP 0ER

He tied a season high in strikeouts that night with 9 and he recorded them in just 16 outs.  That's why he looked so tough. He was no doubt fired up for that game given that his team really needed him to help stop the bleeding after getting their as.ses kicked three days in a row. Still, though, in the end his pitching line was five and a third and 3 earned runs allowed.  Nothing special, but compared to how his brothers Tanaka, Paxton, and Sabathia fared the previous three days, German's 5 and a third, 3 runs and 9 Ks must have seemed like a huge improvement. That's understandable.

your comparing the giants to Yankees lol

Makes sense, too.  That's a good one!

I can understand and also empathize with those out there in the sports betting universe who are afflicted with Homer Bailey PTSD. I'm here to counsel those troubled souls by reporting to you that since that ghastly night at Minute Maid Park one month ago, Mr. Bailey has allowed just one longball in 24.1 innings. Furthermore, he has allowed none in his three home starts for the A's. In his nine home starts for the Royals this season, he served up only 5 home runs in 49.2 innings. To recap, that's 5 home runs allowed in a dozen home starts.  It doesn't help that his name is "Homer", I agree.

I lifted it straight from my own website Toutsthatdontwantyourcash.com. 

Just kidding, moderators.  I don't have a website.

Don't shortchange Homer Bailey, lol. He's having a hard enough time shaking his reputation.  He pitched 7 innings.  Two hits, one walk, seven strikeouts.

whats your action on this game?

The A's are 5-0 at home since July 2nd following an off day, winning 4 of the 5 games by more than one run. 

The Yankees are 0-4 this season on the road following an off day, losing 3-1 in Arizona, 4-3 in Toronto, 5-4 to the White Sox in Chicago, and 4-2 to the Mets in New York.

Anything else on the radar tonight, MrB?

Would you entertain a series wager at +116?
