Latest Odds : Yankees -120 Total 11
This game really shines a bright light on the Red Sox lack of starting pitcher as they send over paid Rick Porcello to the mound he is 12-11 with a 5.63 ERA he has 122 strike outs and 44 walks. Boston comes in winners of 6 of their last 4 games but still trailing the last wild card spot by 6.5 games so every game is a must win here on out.
Last two starts for Rick Porcello have been frustrating and bad as he has given up 6 runs over 4 innings and the start before that he only lasted 5 innings. These Red Sox have a bullpen that leaves alot to be desired and the Yankees will be out for blood Sunday.

New York still is in a heated battle with the Astros for the top playoff spot in the American League as they are leading by just one game so they too need every win they can get. New York is 40-28 on the road this season and the Red Sox come in 36-37 at home a real crazy season for them.
Yankees send former ace Mashiro Tanaka to the mound he is 10-8 with a 4.42 ERA his days of over powering batters are long gone but he does have good control. Mashiro has had two strong starts in a row going 13 innings and only giving up 5 runs.

Free Betting Pick: Boston
Most players will probably be betting the over as that is the play that jumps right off the bat but something tells me this game will be hard fought and come down to extra innings as the Red Sox have their backs to the wall and getting another series loss to the Yankees is something they need to avoid. Boston wins this game in a low scoring affair 5-4.
