Play: New York -137 (action vs. Tanaka)
Time: 1:05 p.m. ET
Reasoning: Oakland should run into a buzzsaw today when it faces Masahiro Tanaka. He is 8-1 with a 2.06 ERA overall, is 3-0 with a 1.98 ERA at home and, in day games, he is 4-0 with a 1.21 ERA. The Yankees also will have Carlos Beltran in the lineup for the first time in 21 games. The A's will start Drew Pomeranz and he has a 4.40 ERA and a 1.47 WHIP in his last three starts. New York is scoring nearly one more run per game vs. LH.
Play: Detroit -153 (action vs. Verlander)
Time: 1:08 p.m.
Reasoning: I like Justin Verlander to play the stopper role today. He has a 1.04 WHIP in eight career starts against Toronto. In his last five starts against the Blue Jays (dating back to 2010) he has a 1.32 ERA. Toronto hurler J.A. Happ was rocked in his last start. He allowed six runs on nine hits in 7.2 IP against Kansas City. Toronto is scoring a half-run less per game on the road.
Record: 93-61-5 (60.4%)
Bankroll: +107.40%
