Bookie Beat Down May 20 - New York Yankees
The New York Yankees have the second best record in Major League Baseball after the Boston Red Sox and tied with Houston. They are giving New York area bookies fits and, without a solid Pay Per Head solution, he or she will probably need to call it quits.
The Yankees won their eighth consecutive series on Sunday with a 10-1 victory against the lowly Royals.
They will kick off their next series against Texas (18-29), a team they have split wins and losses against over the last ten meetings. The Rangers are just 9-24 in their last 33 home games and are 12-3 in Masahiro Tanakas' last 15 road starts vs. a team with a losing record (this is Monday's game).
Domingo German is slated to take to the mound for the Yankees on Tuesday and goes up against Cole Hamels. New York was opening as a -168 visiting favorite here.
The Yankees are 6-0 in their last 6 road games vs. a left-handed starter on the road (13-3 in their last 16 games vs. a left-handed starter overall) while the Rangers are just 1-6 in Hamels' last 7 starts, which probably would explain why New York is such a heavy road favorite here.
The Yankees are 5-1 in their last 6 road games.
