Two southpaws will oppose each other today when the New York Yankees and the Boston Red Sox open a 4-game set in the Bronx. Joe Girardi will send CC Sabathia to the hill. The veteran has been steady over his last 3 outings, going 1-1, with a 3.94 ERA and a 1.12 WHIP. The Bombers are 4-0 in CC’s last 4 starts against the Red Sox and 11-2 in his last 13 starts against the American League East. John Farrell will send Eduardo RodrÃguez to the mound. RodrÃguez is 0-1 in his last 3 outings, with a 6.11 ERA, a 1.30 WHIP, and Boston is 0-4 in his last 4 road starts and 0-4 in his last 4 starts against the American League East. I like the Yankees in this situation.
