The Yankees got the win last night in the series opener, but they still have a losing road record. Now they go up against the best pitcher in baseball. Red Sox lefty Chris Sale (0.91 ERA) has been sensational, with 42 strikeouts against six walks in 29+ innings. He has dominated New York, posting a 4-1 record with a 1.17 ERA in 10 career appearances (seven starts). The Yankees are 4-9 on the road against a team with a winning record, while Boston is 9-3 at home versus a team with a losing road record. New York counters with Masahiro Tanaka (6.00 ERA), who has been terrible on the road (11.74 ERA) in two road starts with batters hitting .400 off him. The wagering value is on a one-sided win by the home team with their red-hot ace. Play Boston on the runline.
