Yankees -143 (4.5* MLB POD)
Many are doubting the Bronx bombers this year but you really can't go against this team with CC on the mound as they are 22-5 in their last 27 with him on the mound as a favorite at home. Verlander is a top pitcher himself, but the Tigers are just 10-27 in their last 37 in New York and Verlander has an ERA over 6 for April over the last three years. Yankees crush RHP at home which led to an impressive 72-27 in their last 99 vs. a RH starter that's a win % over 72%. I love that we get this line at -143 it is some what manageable. Last year CC improved on his early season struggles by going 3-1 in April with a 3.12 ERA and he has always been night and day vs. Detroit from home and away. He's struggled in Detroit, but at home in the last two years he's gone 2-0 giving up just 2 ER in 14 IP and just 10 hits. Verlander also was not the same pitcher on the road a year ago. He seems to really struggle to go deep into games vs. the Yankees in his last two starts he didn't give up the hits or runs, but in just 11.2 IP he threw 233 pitches gave up 9 hits and 9 BB and 3 ER. Add in the Yankees dominance over the Tigers and Verlanders struggles on the road and early in the season and I think the oddsmakers did us a favor.

Dodgers -105 (3** Late Night Fix)
Yes I'm fading the Giants here. I think this team comes back to earth from their amazing playoff run. They face Clayton Kershaw who just had a great year last year improving on all of his stats. IN 5 starts vs. the Giants he has a 1.50 ERA in 36 IP. Expect a low scoring game and I think the Giants bullpen will struggle while Wilson is hurt.
