My Baseball Best Bet for Tuesday 7/1/2008 was:

7:05 PM ET
MLB
Texas Rangers (Millwood) at New York Yankees (Chamberlain)

Best Bet: New York Yankees (listed pitchers) -200

Texas took the series opener last night, 2-1. I expect the Yankees to even things up tonight. Both teams can hit, but it should be noted that Texas’ average drops to .263 on the road, while the Yankees average rises to .285 at home. The Yankees have won 13 of the last 17 in this series.

Texas sends ace Kevin Millwood to the mound. Millwood owns a 5.25 ERA and 1.88 WHIP on the road this season (team is 2-6). Millwood also owns a 6.10 ERA and 1.84 WHIP this month. The righty also sports a 5.81 ERA in his night starts this season. Opponents are batting .314 against Millwood this season, including .320 at night, .344 this month and .348 in his road starts. Millwood is 1-5 (team is 1-6) in his career starts vs. the Yankees, posting a 5.49 ERA and 1.53 WHIP.

The Yankees counter with Joba Chamberlain. Chamberlain owns a 1.80 ERA as a starter (team is 4-1). He has only given up more than one earned run in one of his five starts (he allowed two earned runs in that start). Chamberlain owns a 1.76 ERA at night. Opponents are batting just .216 against Chamberlain this season, including only .195 at Yankee Stadium.

Take the Yankees and Chamberlain over Texas and Millwood.
