New York at Boston

The New York Yankees are just 7-6, and struggled at home vs. the lowly Minnesota Twins, as their starting pitching is struggling. The Red Sox at 4-8, are facing similar woes, but get back to Fenway Park where they are always tough and are at an advantage. This is by far the biggest rivalry in baseball. The Sox always seem to get the juices flowing when the Yankees step onto the field at Fenway for the first time of the season – regardless of how they are playing. The Sox are 7-1 in their first game vs. New York at Fenway over the last eight seasons. Boston is 38-17 in Buchholz' last 55 starts including 25-5 when he faces an opponent that allowed 5 runs or more in their last game. There is a huge runline advantage here, so play Boston on the runline.
