AAA's VERY EARLY *Jays/Yanks* "ASSASSIN!" (+$13K 2nd Half MLB!)
(MLB) Toronto vs. NY Yankees, 08/09/2015 9:05 AM, Score: 2 - 0
Money Line: -130.00 NY Yankees (Home)
Result: Loss
This is an 8* ASSASSIN on the New York Yankees.

The Jays are on the cusp of catching the Yankees in the AL East, but after dropping the first two games of this important series, we like the home side to bounce back in the finale. The visitors hand the ball to Marco Estrada (9-6, 3.40 ERA), who besides a five run blunder back on July 24th, has been pretty sharp of late, going 4-2 with a 3.00 ERA over his last six starts. Note though that Estrada has already struggled against the Evil Empire this year, he was rocked for five runs off eight hits over just 4 2/3's innings in a 6-3 loss at home to the Yanks back on May 5th. The home side counters with Masahiro Tanaka (8-4, 3.84 ERA) who is coming off his eighth win of the year, the hard-throwing right-hander would give up three runs off five hits over six innings in a 13-3 spanking of the Red Sox on Tuesday. Tanaka has been solid at home (6-2) and in all "day" games (3-2). Clearly this is not a do or die situation, but we do think the home side will be playing with pride and be the more motivated team today, it's hard not to imagine the Jays being already being somewhat contented in having wrapped up the series victory, there's no question that this lines up as a classic "letdown" spot for Toronto. We're laying the short price, play on NEW YORK.
