The Bronx Bombers shelled the Braves in Atlanta yesterday, winning by a score of 20-6. They will on the road in Boston, beginning a new series versus the Red Sox at Fenway tonight. Boston has been playing well, and I like the Sox at home with a superior pitching match-up.
Here are my keys to the game:
1. Pitching - The Red Sox hand the ball to Eduardo Rodriguez, who has been rather hit or miss. The rookie left-hander has been roughed up in day games, but he's a very impressive 6-1 with a 1.67 ERA under the lights. The Yankees hand the ball to Ivan Nova, who gave up seven runs in just four innings in a home loss to Houston in his last start.
2. Home Cookin' - The Red Sox have won nine of their last 14 at Fenway, and they are 7-0 when Rodriguez starts at home as a favorite.
3. X-Factor - Big Papi is 8-for-22 (.364 ) with a home run and four RBIs lifetime versus Nova.
Selection: This is a play on the Boston Red Sox (10*)
