The Blue Jays and the Yankees send in their All-Star pitchers onto the mound again in this Sunday day matchup at Yankee Stadium.
Both Marcus Stroman and Masahiro Tanaka are coming into the game with their ERAs on the rise. While starting the season out with low ERAs, both pitchers have kind of lost their way and have posted ERAs over 4.00 in the last month.
What’s most telling from both pitchers, is that their first inning ERA is a combined 4.60 this season.
Marcus Stroman has a 2.76 ERA on Away Games this year, and a 2.35 ERA on Day Games, while Masahiro Tanaka has a 2.84 ERA on Home Games and a 3.11 ERA on Day Games.
This game is very difficult to call to one side or the other, and this is going to be a stretch of a play, but I am seeing at least one run on the first inning for this matchup.
Pick: First Inning Over 0.5 runs at -149
