The New York Yankees own the best home record in the Majors, at 32-13, and will go for a series victory today in the Bronx over the National League East leading Atlanta Braves. Atlanta will call on Julio Teherán to throw strikes and he is having an up and down season. Teherán is 6-5, with a 4.21 ERA, a 1.21 WHIP, and has served up 15 home runs (which is not good) against a team that leads the Majors in home runs. Carsten Charles Sabathia will get the nod for New York. CC is not pitching like a 37-year old. He is 5-3, with a 3.02 ERA, a 1.24 WHIP, and in the month of June, he had an ERA of only 1.93. When CC is on the rubber at the Stadium, the Yankees are 20-6 in his last 26 starts and they are 9-2 in his last 11 starts against the National League East. The Bombers have won 4 of the last 5 meetings and the way they are crushing the ball, they should come out on top in this one.
