Friday Baseball Pick!

Today, I like the New York Yankees (-125) vs. the Toronto Blue Jays.

Listed Pitchers are AJ Burnett and Brett Cecil. The Yankees in this matchup at this price in this spot is a must buy in my assessment. They are 12-5 in the last 17 meetings and face a Toronto team that while they are hitting alot of extra base hits and homeruns when they do make contact, they still aren't consistent at making contact and their team average is a sore spot for this squad. AJ Burnett has only given up 2 homeruns in his last 6 starts and is pitching well right now for the Yanks. He's going to get support from this vaunted Yanks' lineup who have simply feasted on Brett Cecil in the two times they have faced him. In only 8 innings total in the two starts, Cecil was touched up for 10 runs and 16 hits, walking 8 and allowing 3 homeruns. He also has a 6.19 ERA at home this year. Toronto's bullpen woes of late also come into play considering the strong possibility that Cecil gets knocked out early and that favors the Yanks as well.

Good Luck!
