Tough loss for the Yankees last night but CC returns to his old home Cleveland, where he was stellar. They should snap their 4 game skid tonight. In Sebathia’s last 5 games, Yanks were 4-1 and they are 16-5 in his last 21 Wednesday starts. Indians don’t fare well against lefties. They are 3-13 over their last 16 games against southpaws. Yankees should get this one.
Tonight’s pick:
New York Yankees
Mets should end their 2 game skid tonight at home against the Rockies. The lefty Niese is pitching and the Rockies have trouble with south paws. Mets are 38-18 at home this year and the Rockies have struggled in New York, going 16-36 in their last 52 games.
No blog tomorrow – traveling.

Houston is the play today. McHugh is tied with team mate Keuchel and the King for a American league leading 13 wins. McHugh is going for his 5th straight victory.

Let’s keep it going today with Washington. Nats are 6-1 in Zimmerman’s last 7 starts against the Rockies. Baseball is streaky and Nats could start rolling.

Washington Nationals
I’m taking the Nationals in an early one at home against the Diamond Backs. Hellickson is on the hill for Arizona and the D-Backs are 1-4 in his last 5 road starts and they are 3-8 in their last 12 meetings in Washington. Harper and company are due to break out.
Today’s pick:

Houston and Kazmir looks like a good play today. Kazmir’s ERA over his last three is a mere 0.39 and his WHIP is only 0.70. Houston has the edge in the starting pitching, bullpen, power, speed, defense and bench. ‘Stros should snap their 2 game skid tonight.
