The Sports Investing Professional - Wednesday

When last I posted we caught a tough loss on a total
but I wanted to share some of my thoughts with you guys
now that the MLB playoffs are starting.

I have felt for the entire year that the NY Yankees are
built for the regular season but NOT for the playoffs.

Now I know a lot of you are wondering how the best
team in MLB is not built for the playoffs....

1. Beyond Sebathia their starting pitching is average at
best.

2. The can not execute on the offensive side of the ball...
If they're not hitting home runs they don't score.

Teams with those two ingredients can provide us some
real juicy prices when we fade them. Minnesota is a
great matchup and could create real problems for the
Yanks if their starting pitching was a little stronger but
their pitching troubles could provide the Yankees with
enough long ball to be dangerous.

Today, I'm fading the Yankees and if the Twins starting
pitching can keep this game close and turn it into
a battle of execution...the Twins will win at a price that's
right. Betting the over might be a nice natural hedge.
I'll share more thoughts on the other games on Twitter
later today so make sure you're following.
