MLB Betting Free Picks – Will A-Rod Get No. 600 In Cleveland?

The New York Yankees have already lost to the surprisingly resilient Cleveland Indians in this series, but a heavier theme is permeating this series.

The only reason that anyone not betting on this MLB free pick is watching will be to see if Alex Rodriguez can hit his 600th career home run.

You’d think that the Yankees would be more concerned with their shrinking, two-game lead over the Rays in the AL East.

A-Rod will try to get his legendary home run against Fausto Carmona, who is 10-7 SU with a 3.51 ERA in 20 starts.

Carmona has struggled this season against the Yankees, giving up 7 hits and 4 earned runs in 6.0 innings back in May.

New York Yankees (63-36) vs. Cleveland Indians (42-58)

Wednesday, July 28th — Progressive Field — 7:05pm EST

MLB Betting Lines:

NYY – A.J. Burnett (R) -1.5 -105 / -155 / O 9.0 -110

CLE – Fausto Carmona (R) +1.5 -115 / +135 / U 9.0 -110

Against Carmona, A-Rod has gone just 2-for-8 with one home run in his career. That may seem appealing, but Rodriguez has been brutal at Progressive Field.

He’s just 7-for-40 in 11 career games there, and is hitless in 8 at-bats in this series thus far.

New York will counter with A.J. Burnett, who is 8-8 SU with a 4.77 ERA despite being one of the highest paid pitchers in the league.

Against Cleveland earlier this year, he went 8.0 innings and allowed just 5 hits and 3 runs in a 7-3 victory during the month of May.

Where To Watch: YES, STO

A-Rod will hit his 600th home run eventually, and until he does he’s an unruly distraction. What will boost the spirits of the Indians is a full house there to see if the Yankee makes history. While the distraction detracts from the Yankees, the Indians can earn a wily underdog win. I don’t trust A.J Burnett on the road at all.
