Against such offense, Hiroki Kuroda will have to bring his A-game to the mound tonight. The Yankees are 13-6 in Kuroda’s last 19 home starts.
Writer’s Prediction
The A’s will put on a hitting clinic against Hiroki Kuroda tonight. Take Oakland as -114 road faves, and expect the game to go over 8.0.
Toronto Blue Jays vs. Detroit Tigers (June 3, 7:08 PM EST)
Line: Toronto Blue Jays (+125) vs. Detroit Tigers (-135); total: 8.5 – view these lines
The smoking Toronto Blue Jays are getting the best of both worlds lately, as their pitching and hitting have been on fire. They have allowed no more than two runs in each their last two games, while scoring 16 runs during the same stretch. On the mound for the Bluejays tonight is Drew Hutchison, who has won in all of his last three starts.
Hutchison will be facing Detroit Tigers ace Anibal Sanchez, who has given his team two wins in his last three starts. The Tigers are also 6-1 in their last seven home games against Toronto.
Writer’s Prediction
Anibal Sanchez mums the Blue Jays’ offense to propel the Tigers into a win as -135 home faves.
