Result: Loss
#923 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Atlanta +110 over NY Yankees, Tuesday at 6:35 PM ET - The Yankees have lost 5 straight games and 8 of 10. The Yankees are known for striking out far too often at the plate and now they face Charlie Morton, a curve ball specialist. Morton had his curve working fantastically well in his most recent start and his scoreline for that one was deceiving as he deserved better. We expect him to absolutely handcuff the Yankees in this one by keeping them off balance all game long. The Yankees are feeling the added pressure of being in a losing skid and that only makes it even more difficult to step in the box with confidence against a guy like Morton who allowed just 2 earned runs in 9 innings against the Yankees last season as a member of the Rays. That included defeating them in the post-season. Morton has a great history against nearly all the Yankees batters. The lone exception being Brett Gardner but he is 0 for 8 his last 3 games entering this one. The Braves should pound Jameson Taillon here. He is still recovering from Tommy John surgery. Taillon has allowed 3 homers in 8 and 1 / 3 innings over his first two starts. Atlanta has won 3 of the last 4 games and has scored an average of 6.4 runs per game in the last 10 games. We’ll grab the road team at an underdog price on the money line in this one and bet ATLANTA
