New York at Boston

The Yankees once held a commanding 10-game lead in the AL East, but it has since vanished. They have not won two straight games since August 15th, and this team is falling fast since the All-Star break. Tonight it will be Phil Hughes, but his road record is not very convincing at 4-8 with a 4.86 ERA. Hughes has been bitten by the long ball as he has served up 33 round trippers on the season already, and hitter-friendly Fenway Park will present quite a challenge here tonight. Felix Doubront has silenced the struggling Yankees lineup in two starts this season, allowing just 2 runs in 12.1 innings against them. The Yankees are now just 1-10 following a win, and just 3-9 behind Hughes as a road favorite of -110 to -150. Doubront has led Boston to a 7-0 mark when closing out a series game three. Play on Boston.
