Jays, Yankees continue AL East series

The New York Yankees are slated to send CC Sabathia to the mound on Saturday afternoon as they continue their home MLB betting series against the division-rival Toronto Blue Jays.

Sabathia failed to pay off on the MLB odds in his most recent trip to the mound, giving up five runs over seven innings in his team's 5-1 loss to the Rays. The lefthander has managed to strike out 32 batters over 35 innings of work so far this year.


The Yankees will turn to CC Sabathia and his 3-2 record as they look for a win in this one, while the Blue Jays send JA Happ (2-1) to the hill.
