Boston at New York

The New York Yankees have once again claimed the AL East, and after mailing-in yesterday's series finale vs. the Rays, don't look for that to happen here. They would like nothing more than to sweep the Red Sox here and hopefully keep them out of the playoffs. Boston is in a September swoon where they have gone 6-17 in their last 23 games, with nothing going right. Not even Josh Beckett or tonight's pitcher, Jon Lester has been able to stop the bleeding. Lester has dropped three of his last four starts and the last two were ugly. This is a line anticipating that the Yanks will lay down, but never count on that vs. Boston. The Yankees get the call.
