Well that was terrible! Yanks had their chances and shocking that Altuve went hitless. 0-3 Tuesday and down 2 units on the week so we need a bounce back day today to get back on track going into Thursday Night Football tomorrow.

Yankees (Cortes) (-142) 🥇
The Yankees will try to clinch the division again tonight and they owe us a win to make up for last night.
They will face Orioles starter Zach Eflin who they beat 6-1 last time they faced him at Yankee Stadium on 7/19.
Nestor Cortes will pitch for the Yankees and he’s been much better at home than on the road this season 3.11 ERA vs 4.46. He threw 6 scoreless innings vs the Orioles last time he faced them on 6/18.
The Orioles were popping bottles and crushing beers after winning last night when they clinched their postseason berth. Technically they aren’t eliminated from the AL East Race but 5 games back with 5 days and Yanks playing Pirates over the weekend would be pretttttyyyyyy unlikely. Yanks can clinch it tonight.
9:40 EST
DBacks (Gallen) (-1.5) 🥈
The DBacks are clinging to a half game lead for the final NL Wild Card spot so they need to win and they’ve got their ace on the mound.
Zac Gallen is pitching and they have gone 7-2 in his last 9 starts with run line covers in 5 of those 7 wins. He threw 6 HITLESS innings against this Giants lineup on 9/4.
1-4 Mason Black will pitch for the Giants and the DBacks haven’t faced him yet but he has a 5.88 ERA on the season so it’s hard to see him outdueling Gallen tonight.
The Giants have been hot winning 5 in a row and the first 2 of this series but Gallen as well as some desperation from the DBacks should get the win and cover for us tonight.
