Free MLB Pick
R.A. Dickey failed to record a Q start in his last three, but two of the three weren’t horrible allowing 4 in 7 innings in both games and he loves to face the Yankees with 5 consecutive Q starts. New York starter Chase Whitley looked good in his first start of 2015 but one start is the smallest of sample sizes. He has two starts against the jays and the last one coming on June 23rd last season was disastrous allowing 8 runs on 11 hits in 3 1/3 innings.
Take the Toronto Blue Jays -118
