Point Spread: -1.50 | -160.00 NY Yankees (Away)
Result: Loss
T.M. Selection: Yankees (-1.5) 8*

Sometimes I completely dissect a play, looking at every tiny angle, motivational factor, ATS stats and other information, but other times a simpler "eye-test" strategy is the better method, and that's the case here in my opinion. After a sub-par season during the shortened Covid campaign last year, Gerrit Cole (5-1, 1.37 ERA) is on a mission for the Yanks. His counterpart is a confirmed "gas can" in Jordan Lyles, who is 1-3 with a 6.63 ERA so far. Lyles is only in the rotation out of necessity as well. The Yanks have turned the corner at the plate and I expect them to take advantage; lay the 1.5 runs on the Yanks!

T.M. Prediction: 6-1 New York.
