Stephen Nover Free Wednesday MLB Play

On May 3, 2017, in Free Picks, MLB, by Stephen

Blue Jays minus $1.05 at Yankees

The price is right to back the Blue Jays, who hold a strong starting pitching edge with Marcus Stroman facing 36-year-old C.C. Sabaitha.

Stroman, who is from Long Island, always gets motivated to pitch against the Yankees. He is 5-2 lifetime against them with a 2.17 ERA. Stroman is pitching well this season allowing two runs or less in four of his five starts.

Sabathia started well this year, but already is starting to fade. He is 0-1 in his last two starts with a 9.28 ERA. He was hammered by the Orioles during his last start this past Friday for seven runs on nine hits in 5 2/3 innings.

The Yankees are likely to be down to third-string catcher Kyle Higashioka in this game. Starting catcher Gary Sanchez is rehabbing in Triple A and backup Austin Romine suffered a groin injury on Tuesday night and had to leave the game. Higashioka doesn’t have a hit in 15 at bats this season.

New York has other injuries, too, with first baseman Greg Bird on the DL and Jacoby Ellsbury bothered by a nerve injury in his left elbow.

I am 8-2 on my last 10 premium baseball plays and have my Game of the Week going today in addition to this free selection. http://pregame.com/pregamepros/pro-bettor/bettor.aspx?id=7746#capper
