Dunkel
Seattle at NY Yankees
The Yankees got their bats going last night in a 12-2 win over the Mariners that pushed their lead in the Wild Card to two games over Seattle. But they could need more than that today with rookie Phil Hughes on the mound. After a solid start, Hughes has been roughed up in each of his last three starts and is coming off a 9-1 loss to Tampa Bay in which he lasted just 4 1/3 innings. The Yankees look like a shaky favorite (-160) according to Dunkel, which has Seattle favored straight up by 1 1/2. Dunkel Pick: Seattle (+152). Here are all of today's games.
