Bet Tonight’s Yankees vs. Red Sox Game
OUR PREDICTION: The Yankees are 4-0 in their last four games versus the Red Sox and have been a good bet when Tanaka takes the hill. They’re 53-25 in Tanaka’s last 78 starts, are 4-1 in his last five outings after allowing two runs or less in their previous game, and are 36-16 in his last 52 starts following a quality start in his last appearance. I know they’re facing Sale, but this Yankee team is playing very well and worth a play as an underdog with their No. 1 on the hill.
