The Boston Red Sox are tracking down some serious contenders in the American League East, but strangely enough that list doesn’t include the New York Yankees. The pair of rivals will square off at Fenway Park on Wednesday.
- The total has gone UNDER in 16 of the Yankees' last 21 games against teams with winning records.
- The Red Sox are 6-2 SU in their last eight games at home after a win at home.
- The Yankees are 3-9 ATS in their last 12 games.
Nathan Eovaldi and Drew Pomeranz are the probable starters. Eovaldi (9-8, 4.80 ERA) tossed 1 1/3 innings of relief against Boston on July 15 but was hammered for six runs and 10 hits over five innings in a start at Fenway on May 1.
Pomeranz (8-9, 3.09) is still looking for his first win since joining the Red Sox last month. The 27-year-old has struggled with his command lately, issuing six walks against the Seattle Mariners in his last appearance.
Boston has had the upper hand in this matchup in recent months, going 4-1 in their last five against the Bronx Bombers.
