At 3:05 pm, our selection is on the New York Yankees over the Toronto Blue Jays.  It's been an ugly start for RHP Kevin Gausman of the Jays.  He's made three starts, and is 0-2 with an 11.58 ERA and a 1.92 WHIP.  His worst start was 11 days ago against these Yankees.  The Blue Jays lost, 9-8, and Gausman was responsible for six runs (five earned) in 1 1/3 innings pitched.  Then he followed up that game with another dismal effort at home vs. Colorado (3 2/3 IP, 6 R, 10 H).  Gausman is back home this afternoon, but he's burned money at home, with his teams going 16-18 (minus 19.5 net games) in his starts, including 0-5 his last five vs. division rivals.  Marcus Stroman will toe the rubber for the Pinstripes, and he's given up just four earned runs over 17 innings (2.12 ERA; 1.05 WHIP).  Even better:  in 2 career starts vs. the Blue Jays, he has a 0.82 ERA and 0.81 WHIP, including six scoreless innings 12 days ago.  Take New York.  Good luck, as always...Al McMordie.
