Complimentary Picks and Analysis
Game: Boston at New York Yankees (4:05 PM Eastern)
Pick: Boston +1.5 runs -140 (runline)
The Red Sox have a lot going for them here as Dice-K Matsuzaka has gotten the velocity back that has made him a career 36-20 pitcher in the Big leagues. He also shines in this spot, unfettered by the road and the competition, the Red Sox are 10-1 behind him in road games against winning teams, and the Sox have handled Sabathia for a winning record in his career against them. The Sox have also put one in the win column to the tune of a 17-4 mark in Matsuzaka's last 21 road starts. The Sox have handled top pitching, those with a WHIP of 1.15 or less to a 21-8 mark as well, so getting the plus side of the runline, just magnifies the opportunity here, so the Sox get the call on the runline
