Money Line: -162.00 NY Yankees (Home)
Result: Loss
#924 ASA PLAY ON 8* New York Yankees -165 over Chicago Cubs, Friday at 7:05 PM ET - We will go action on the pitchers here. The Cubs have Jameson Taillon listed as a starter and the Yankees are expected to start Carlos Rodon here. The odds that both pitchers get scratched is, of course, very minimal and this is both a play on Rodon and a play against Taillon so we are in good shape either way. The Cubs have now lost 8 of 11 games after losing at Milwaukee yesterday. The Yankees are coming off a complete home demolition at the hands of the Orioles yesterday so this is a great spot to look for a bounce back here.  Rodon is ready to make his season debut and he has looked fantastic in his minor league starts leading up to this.  He is more than ready to get back to big league action and will take advantage of the slumping Cubs here. The Yankees entered Game 2 of the Baltimore series having won 7 of 10 games.  Now, off B2B losses, New York bounces back.  Chicago enters this one having allowed at least 6 runs in 5 of last 6 games.  Taillon enters this start having allowed at least 4 earned runs in 8 of last 10 starts.  With Rodon coming off a dominating season and looking sharp in his rehab, he gives the home team a dominating edge over the visiting Cubs in this one.  So, all factors considered, a lot of value with the home team even at a rather sizable yet very fair money line price in this one. Look for the Yankees to get the win this evening in the Bronx.
