THE HOT CORNER
Mal Van Valkenburg, Las Vegas Review-Journal, 52-40-3 (overall record)
Today's best bet: New York Yankees (-140) over MINNESOTA TWINS
The pitching matchup is one-sided toward the Yankees in the opener. CC Sabathia starts for New York. He has a 3.18 ERA and a 1.191 WHIP. He should go well into the game, sparing the Yankees from having to use much of their shaky bullpen. Francisco Liriano has lost to the Yankees twice this year and has struggled lately, going 0-3 with an 8.10 ERA in his last three starts.
