New York at Boston

The Yankees own a commanding 11 game lead on the Red Sox but 8 of the next 11 games will see these heated division rivals square up. The first will be tonight at Fenway, and if Boston is going to find their way back into the race, they have to set the tone with a win tonight. The Yankees exhausted their bullpen in the series vs. Minnesota that all turned out to be slugfests. Boston has averaged 5.20 runs per game vs. Tanaka, covering 20 outings. Boston starter Rick Porcello has allowed the Yankees fewer than four runs per game at Fenway in 17 starts. Take Boston.
