MLB picks of the day – Yankees get the lean image

AccuScore’s predictions are based on 10,000-plus simulations performed by the company’s computer.  Throughout the baseball season, AccuScore will be stacking up its projections against Las Vegas odds and recommending wagers when value presents itself.

New York Yankees -101 (@ Toronto Blue Jays)
Mark Buehrle vs CC Sabathia

The game between the Yankees and the Jays is deemed an all even affair, with Toronto having just a slight edge. As usual, we disagree with the assessment, although do agree on the fact that it will be a close game. AccuScore's supercomputer puts the Yankees on top at 54.2 percent out of 10,000 game simulations, which would indicate odds of -118. There's small value to be gained here, and apart from Sabathia’s losing record, we see no reason why the Yankees shouldn’t be bigger favorites. Be aware of the moving odds though, it’s rare to see values as equal as Toronto’s -107 is at the moment.

AccuScore's year-to-date record on Linemakers : 23-24 (-.43 units)
