Even with all of their injuries the Yankees (25-14) keep on winning. They beat the Mariners (18-21) yesterday facing former Cy Young winner Felix Hernandez, are 7-3 in their last 10 games, and sit all-alone in first place in the AL East 2 games up on the Baltimore Orioles.

2 former Cy Young winners face each other tonight with Barry Zito going for the Giants and R.A. Dickey going for the Blue Jays.
Zito (3-1 2.75) had a solid outing in his last start, but he got no run support giving up only 1 earned run in 7 innings in a no-decision facing the Philadelphia Phillies. [dfads params=’groups=10&limit=1&return_javascript=0′]
Dickey (2-5 5.06 ERA) has struggled this season, but also had a solid start in his last outing giving up 2 earned runs in 6 innings in a no-decision against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Last season Melky Cabrera played for the Giants and was a key part to their early season success before being banned for 50 games positive testosterone test. He signed in the off-season with the Blue Jays and after a slow start he is hitting .353 in his last 8 games.
Zito is 5-12 with a 6.75 ERA in 17 interleague starts.
This season Dickey has pitched better on the road than at home, as in Toronto he has an ERA of 6.75 and on the road his ERA is 3.55.
In some betting trends for this interleague game the Giants are 4-1 in their last 5 games, 2 in Zito’s last 9 road starts, and they have an Over record of 4-1 in their last 5 road games.
The Blue Jays are 1-4 in their last 5 home games, 0-4 in Dickey’s last 4 starts, and they have an Over record of 7-2 in their last 9 games.
Jason’s Pick: Going with the Giants in this one, as I think Zito will have another strong start while Dickey will struggle.
The Dodgers (15-21) have won 2 straight, but they have still been one of the more disappointing teams early in the season. They have a huge payroll, but it has not translated to wins, as they are 2-8 in their last 10 games, in the basement of the NL West, and they are 7 games back of the San Francisco Giants.
The Braves (21-16) have lost 3 straight games and 6 of their last 10 and now they only lead the Washington Nationals by 1 game in the NL East.
