Aroldis Chapman earned his 17^th save of the season with a scoreless ninth.

MLB Betting Trends

Boston

The Red Sox are 2-8 in their last 10 against winning teams, but they have won Price’s last five Sunday starts.

New York

The Yankees have won eight of their last 10 Game 3’s in a series and 6 of Sabathia’s last 8 starts.

Prediction:

Sabathia isn’t getting deep into games, as he usually levels out around five innings. He has given up multiple runs in five of his last six starts. Price hasn’t allowed an earned run over his last 11.2 innings. The Yankees had to use a lot of arms last night, which could be a problem tonight with Sabathia starting. New York is going to have to either run him long, or go deep into their pen, which I think will be a problem. Boston has a lot of potential on offense, just hasn’t had a lot of breakthrough hits lately. I think Price will keep this game close and then Boston will find the key hits later in the contest.

MLB Prediction: Boston Red Sox -125
