Boston at New York

The Boston Red Sox exploded for 20 runs to finish off their series with the Detroit Tigers. Boston launched eight home runs in the contest, tying a team record. Big Papi slugged a pair himself, driving in 6 runs. The Yankees have moved themselves into contention in the wildcard race, trailing Tampa Bay by just 2.5 games. The Yankees send Ivan Nova to the mound, who has pitched well in the second half of the season, but his body of work vs. Boston is not very good, as he owns a 4.85 ERA in six career appearances against them, including five starts. After slumping for awhile, Boston is back on track, winning five of their last six games, and have been the better team all season. Make the play on Boston.
