300♦ N.Y. YANKEES RUN LINE (WITH Sabathia over Snell) - Keep riding the pinstripes, and lay the run line with apparent-ace C.C. Sabathia toeing the slab. He is in search of his 13th win of the season after turning in 7-2/3 outstanding innings against the Red Sox in his last start, in which he struck out a season-high nine while allowing just two hits. It was a game in which he proved his worth.

And for as strong as he looked last night, I have to believe he is going to lead the team once again, despite the team traveling cross-country after finishing up with Toronto yesterday. And let’s not forget, the M’s went to extra innings against the White Sox last night, and could be just as tired as the Yanks.

Sabathia was too dominating for Boston, retiring the first 13 batters he faced before allowing a two-out single to Jacoby Ellsbury in the sixth and is now 17-2 in the month of August since 2005 - the most wins in the bigs for that month over that span.

He’ll get the run support against Ian Snell, as he couldn’t throw strikes in his last outing, against Tampa Bay, which chased him after just 1-1/3 innings after walking six batters. He showed no command of his fastball and admitted to being nervous and jittery in his first career appearance at Safeco Field. How nervous will he be in his first career start against the Yankees?

New York Yankees (71-43) at Seattle Mariners (60-54)
(L) CC Sabathia (12-7) vs. (R) Ian Snell (0-0)

The Yankees have beaten the Mariners in 11 of the last 14 meetings, but have had problems in Seattle, just 2-5 in their last 7 games at Safeco Field. Then again, CC Sabathia (12-7, 3.76) will try to win his third straight start. The right-hander is 4-1 with a 2.83 ERA in seven starts at Safeco Field.
New York has won nine of their last 10 games and their high scoring offense could be tough on Seattle's struggling veteran Ian Snell (0-0, 6.14). The right-hander was dreadful last Saturday, allowed three runs on two hits and six walks in just 1 1/3 innings against the Rays. Snell will make his first start against the NY Yankees. Go with the hot Yanks with CC Sabathia on the hill.

PAY-AFTER-YOU-WIN - 500* - NY Yankees RUN LINE (Sabathia over Snell)

Well, it took the Yanks extra-innings on Thursday afternoon to defeat the Blue Jays, and of course they had to fly to the other end of the country, but I have to believe it is a whole lot easier to fly to the pacific northwest when you have won 9 of your last 10 games, and you lead your division comfortably.



Sure, it may take a few innings for New York to get their bearings, but when they do, they will rout this Seattle team.



Ian Snell is all kinds of messed up, as going from Pittsburgh to the Emerald City has not be the "change" the M's were looking for, as Snell has allowed 5 runs, and 5 hits in his 7-plus innings of work for his new club, but worse still is his 9 walks allowed in that span! Against a patient team like the Yankees, that spells doom.



CC Sabathia loves him the month of August, and last start against Boston was a dominating one, as the portly southpaw allowed just 2 hits, and no earned runs in nearly 8 frames, while fanning 9.



The Yankees will get the train rolling around the 5th inning, as this one has 9-2 final written all over it.



Take New York on the RUN LINE.
