Good luck today...

Cajone-check here. You need to have chutzpah to play this one given the line. But, I LOVE the Yankees here folks. Winnners of 8 of 9, they have closed the gap on the Red Sox. This is "Yankee time" my friends and they need to keep winning to have a shot at winning the AL East. The Orioles have lost five of six and tonight they have to face Randy Johnson and a Yankees team that has beaten them 5 out of 7 thus far at Yankee Stadium this season. Johnson is 3-0 with a 2.10 ERA his last five starts. Rodrigo Lopez starts for Baltimore and after a nice start, he's witherd, losing three of his last four starts. In his last start against the Yankees, he got pummeled to the tune of 10 runs in just three innings of action as New York went on to win the game 12-3. New York loves September and they have been on a tear, putting up 6.7 runs per game over their last seven games. They are red hot and huge favorites of -200 or more having won 18 or more of their last 25 games are 87-14 (86%) in September games since 1997. Five stars onthe Yanks.

The Dodger look to snap their losing streak tonight in the desert. LA is 17-10 vs. Arizona over the past three seasons in games played in Arizona including a winning 4-3 this year. They'll look to Brad Penny who owns the D-Backs. Earlier this year he pitched a shutout against Arizona yielding just three hits in 8 innings. Lifetime he is a perfect 4-0 against Arizona posting a 1.27 ERA and 0.825 WHIP. And we get him as a dog? Great! Arizona's offense is weak (3 runs per game over last seven) and their bullpen is atrocious. Arizona is 18-24 as a home favorite of -110 or higher this season and 4-16 at home when the total is 7 to 8.5. They are also 11-20 this year at home vs. losing teams. Two stars on the underdog that should be favored.
