Can’t you see I’m busy?! Mayor Bill de Blasio, informed that there were power outages throughout Manhattan while in yes, Iowa, called for a full investigation … then went back to eating his dinner.
Which Blake Snell will we see at Yankee Stadium? The one who limited the Yanks to a run over five strong innings on July 6? Or the totally ineffective version we saw June 19 that was pounded for six runs while recording one out? Yanks give James Paxton the start for the series opener with Tampa. Paxton fanned 11 Rays while allowing only two runs over six innings earlier this month but took a hard-luck loss. We will take Snell and the Rays for 10 units.
After investing five hours in the Djokovic/Federer marathon, we took a break. By the time we turned on D’backs/Cards, the game was out of reach. Picked ‘Zona’s Zack Greinke on a day where he had his worst outing of the year, surrendering five runs over six. Snakes scored twice in the last inning and lost 5-2. Paul Goldschmidt with a homer off Greinke. String of losses have us at -149 mcenroes.
