ASA TOP PLAY 10* ON OVER: Boston Red Sox at New York Yankees, Sunday at 7:08 PM ET

Yesterday's game saw 7 runs scored by the top of the 3rd inning and then the bats went silent. That is highly unlikely to happen again today. The Red Sox team ERA ranks among the worst in the majors so far this season. Boston is scheduled to use Austin Brice as an opener in this one. That said, it really wouldn't matter who the Red Sox use as the starter here but he is the one that is scheduled for Boston as of this morning. Again, this one is being called a "bullpen game" for the Red Sox. Brice has a 5.00 ERA in his 110 MLB appearances and has never started a game. This season he has allowed 4 earned runs in less than 5 innings of work. The wind is expected to be blowing out to left field for this one on Sunday evening in the Bronx. That will help the hitters for both teams of course and we like the chances of the Boston bats coming back to life after last night's dismal result. The Red Sox will face James Paxton who is off a horrible start in which he was rocked by the Nationals. He is trying to get back to his usual form after having back surgery early this year. Suffice to say early indicators point to issues. Paxton plans to make some adjustments for this start but he tends to be a streaky pitcher as evidenced by his month to month stats last season. We're banking on an early season down cycle for him this season and expect another tough start in his 2nd outing of the season. Bet the OVER in the Yankees game in early evening action Sunday
