The Boston Red Sox will go for a sweep of the New York Yankees today at Fenway but not so fast. The Yankees will have Gerrit Cole on the hill. Next to Jacob deGrom, Cole is the best in the majors. He is 8-3 with a 2.33 ERA and a nasty WHIP of 0.85. The Red Sox are expected to send lefty Eduardo Rodríguez to the rubber and the Yanks should get to this guy. Rodríguez is 5-4 with an elevated ERA of 6.07, a 1.46 WHIP, and New York can hit lefties. Boston has won 6 straight against New York but trends end.
