Yankees vs Twins Free Pick and Preview 8-13-08
August 13, 2008
The Yankees still get far too much credit based on name recognition. It’s not that they are a bad team, they just aren’t as good as the odds indicate. The good news? We can take advantage of it in the right situations! For example, Wednesday afternoon the Yankees visit the Minnesota Twins. The Twins are sporting an impressive 40-21 record at home, yet are hardly favored. To take it a few steps further, Minnesota has also won 4 of their last 5 overall, they are 22-7 as a home favorite in their last 29 games in that situation, PLUS they have gone 8-2 in their starter’s (Slowey) last 10 starts. Those are some great numbers for the Twins, but the trends going against the Yankees are just as impressive. First, Yankees starter, Darrell Rasner, is pitching on 4 days rest. Rasner has pitched on 4 days rest 7 times this season and the Yankees are just 6-1 in those starts. To top it all off, the Yankees have lost 4 in a row as an underdog on the road and 4 in a row against any team with a winning record. This is a great price for a Minnesota team that has earned one of the best home records in baseball this season.

MILWAUKEE BREWERS @ SAN DIEGO PADRES
MIL: Suppan (7-7), SD: Baek (4-6)
The Brewers are playing like a team that wants to win their division. They are doing everything in their power to run down the Cubs in the NL Central. In their last 16 road games, where they have to win to have a chance at the pennant, the Brewers are 13-3. They’ve also won 5 in a row. The Cubs better stay on their game. Back to this match-up, we have a San Diego Padres team that is a complete disappointment this season. They’ve won just 15 of their last 48 games overall, and they aren’t even playing well at home, losing 9 of their last 11 in San Diego against right handed starters. Cheap price for a red-hot Milwaukee team Tuesday night.
