Result: Win
Money Line: 119.00 Philadelphia (Home)
Result: Win
The set-up: After yesterday's 6-0 setback, I think the home side offers great value to bounce back in the underdog role on Wednesday. The Yankees go with Luis Cessa, while the Phillies go with Zach Eflin.
The pitchers: Cessa is so far 0-0 with a 3.00 ERA. Cessa enters the rotation as a temporary sixth starter due to some upcoming scheduling issues. Cessa has shown plenty of promise, but he's so far made all four of his appearances out of the bullpen. Note that he'll be capped at around 70 to 80 pitches tonight.
Eflin is so far 5-2 with a 3.44 ERA. Eflin grabbed the victory Friday over the Nationals after allowing two runs and one walk with five strikeouts over five frames of work. Over his last four starts Eflin has gone 4-0 and posted a 2.28 ERA with 22 strikeouts and four walks spanning 23.2 innings of work. To go along with his overall respectable ERA, Eflin also has a sharp 9.2 K/9 and 2.2 BB/9 over 49.2 frames. He's been consistent at home a well with a 2-1, 3.63 ERA record.
The pick: The Yankees have an impressive line-up, but Eflin has a major advantage in this interleague matchup. Great value, play on the revenge-minded Phillies.
