The Boston Red Sox are on a roll, winning 8 in a row, but will have their hands full tonight when the Bronx Bombers come to town. New York will have their ace, Luis Severino, on the hill. Severino is off and running, with a record of 2-0, an ERA of 1.38, and a WHIP of 0.77. The Yankees win when he takes the mound, going 17-4 in his last 21 starts, and he was electric at Fenway last year, posting a ridiculous ERA of just 0.64 in 2 outings. Of course, Boston will counter with their ace, Chris Sale. The lefty has yet to record a win but has had his usual nasty stuff, with an ERA of 0.82, and a WHIP to match at 0.82. However, Boston is 1-4 in Sale’s last 5 starts against the Yanks and will be without SS Xander Bogaerts due to an ankle injury. I like New York in this spot.
TONIGHT’S PICK: NEW YORK YANKEES
