MLB FREE PICK: Take Oakland. According to latest MLB trends, New York Yankees are 1-9 in Hughes’ last 10 Wednesday starts and 2-6 in Hughes’ last 8 starts during game 2 of a series. Oakland is 20-7 last 27 overall, 6-1 last 7 during game 2 of a series and 5-0 last 5 at home in series.
Oakland has been red-hot at home, winning nine straight games. They send out Dain Straily (3-2, 4.67 ERA), who has a mediocre record but has pitched really well as of late. Straily has surrendered five runs in his last 13 innings. The rookie pitched decently on May 5 in the Bronx, allowing three runs and just four hits in 5 1/3 innings as Oakland beat the Yankees, 5-4. Phil Hughes (3-4, 4.80 ERA) is coming off a strong performance against Seattle, giving up just one run (no earned) in a 6-1 win over the Mainers on June 6. But Hughes had allowed five runs in 4 1/3 innings against Boston in the previous start. That’s what you get from Hughes-some good and some bad. Expect the bad Hughes to show up against an Oakland team that is playing with great confidence at home.
MLB FREE PICK: OAKLAND A’S -120
