This is a 10* play on BOSTON

The Red Sox have exploded in this series, scoring 29 runs against Yankees pitching in winning the first two games. After a 19-3 annihilation took place on Thursday (we had the Over in that one!), it was a 10-5 win for the home team at Fenway Park last night. That was thanks to three Mookie Betts home runs, all coming off Yankees starter James Paxton. Boston had been just 1-6 vs. New York this season (before this series), but it's important to note that none of those games were played here in Fenway. For Saturday afternoon's nationally televised contest, we're obviously siding with Boston as they turn to Eduardo Rodriguez. No pitcher on the staff has been more successful than Rodriguez as he comes in with a 16-5 team start record, including 8-1 at home, and and he's a perfect 3-0 his last three starts overall with a 1.33 ERA and 0.94 WHIP. Going back further, Rodriguez has allowed 2 ER or less in five straight starts. CC Sabathia has struggled in July (6.35 ERA) and failed to get past the 4th inning in his last start. The fact he allowed four home runs is a bad sign as well. This feels like it's Boston's time to move up the standings. Back them without hesitation today. Play on BOSTON
