This is a 10* TOP DOG on the New York Yankees.

Chris Sale has been the victim of poor run support this year, but he's been absolutely fantastic for his new team. Masahiro Tanaka is coming off his best season ever as a pro, but has endured a more up-and-down start to the 2017 campaign. New York took Game 1, 3-1 last night and we think it has much better than just a "punchers chance" this evening as well:

Tanaka: He's 2-1 with a 6.00 ERA. He comes in with a ton of momentum after allowing one run and two walks to go along with six strikeouts over seven innings in a victory over the White Sox on Wednesday. At first glance, Tanaka's numbers aren't great. But if you dig a little deeper, we see that he's gotten progressively better after his season debut disaster. Note that he was 7-3 with a 2.34 ERA on the road last year.

Sale: He's 1-1 with a 0.91 ERA. It's impossible to say anything negative about Sale right now, so we won't. He's absolutely domianting in every facet.

The bottom line: But as mentioned off the top, Sale has gotten just four total runs of support as a Red Sox member. Clearly at some point he's going to get the production he deserves, but we think the home side will once again struggle at the plate this evening in facing the "under the radar" Tanaka. Also note that New York has done well in this spot for bettors already this season by going 3-0 (+3 units) vs. southpaws, while Boston has struggled in this position by going just 3-6 (-3.2 units) in all "night" games. Play on NEW YORK.
