Colby Lewis has great stats against TB and Price so-so against TEX. Heck just a few months ago Colby Lewis facing up against Price won 3-0 I believe. TEX hits leftys well and they are actually a very good road team. I think that they try to take back the homefield advantage tonight. Obviously if they lose this game then their backs are against the wall and have to win out to advance. Price has also been very shaky his last five starts. Thoughts? Personally this is my favorite baseball play of the night.
I would rather back Sabathia at home versus Verlander and the Tigers (my Friday bet of course got cancelled) but you just cannot ignore the history of CC taking it to Verlander. NYY are in the same boat as TEX in that they need to win to take back homefield advantage and have their ace on the mound to try to accomplish this feat. If DET wins this game NYY are really going to be scrambling. This is the type of game I wish I could just watch the 1st inning and then get in on the action because you will know early which CC is pitching tonight. Verlander is good (the clear choice for Cy Young this year) but he is also very hittable. This game I struggle with a little more but I think NYY take it. Thoughts?
