Take the Red Sox at home over the Yankees. Boston is a solid 38-18 at Fenway this season, including 6-0 so far against the Yankees. New York has been hot lately, but they are definitely a different team on the road. Brad Penny gets the start for the Red Sox and though is numbers aren't all that impressive at home, Boston is 8-4 in his 12 starts.

20* No Doubt Rout on Chicago White Sox -1.5 +110
Take the White Sox on the run line over the Orioles tonight. Baltimore is one of the worst teams in the American League on the road this season at 19-41, while the White Sox are fighting to keep pace with the Detroit Tigers in the AL Central to earn a playoff spot. I also like Gavid Floyd at home for the Sox this season. In 11 home starts, Floyds is 5-2 with a 2.38 ERA and 1.07 WHIP (the White Sox are 9-2 in those 11 starts). Meanwhile, Baltimore's Jeremy Guthrie has labored through his last 3 appearances, going 0-2 with a 7.64 ERA and 1.81 WHIP.
