@MrActionJunkie1 Plays for Thursday (dropped on the podcast)

Play 1: NRFI - New York Yankees at Minnesota Twins (-115)

  • Is it October? Yankees have won 13 straight playoff games over Minnesota. Now, after one of the best runs in Twins history the Yankees have humbled Minnesota in this series. Joe Ryan for Minnesota, 3.21 ERA, 0.99 WHIP. Tough for me not to back a pitcher with a sub-1 WHIP. Clarke Schmidt gets the call today for the Yankees, 2.95 ERA. Minnesota sticks have scored just 1 run over the first 2 games, I would be OK if they waited until the 2nd to bust out. 

Play 2: NRFI - Pittsburgh Pirates at Chicago Cubs (-125)

  • 3rd start back for Justin Steele, struggled last out at Pittsburgh giving up 6 runs over 4 innings. He gets a chance to make adjustments tonight. Steele is a career 3.35 ERA pitcher, 2.65 ERA at Wrigley last year. I think he will be just fine. Jared Jones goes for the Pirates, young gun has a 2.68 ERA, 0.87 WHIP this year. Last out against Chicago, 6 innings, 3 runs allowed. Jones has been good in the 1st, 8 starts allowing just 1 run. Let's get 6 outs without a run tonight.
