The setup: The NY Yankees and Boston Red Sox played a 16-inning marathon on Satuday (Yanks won 4-1) and now play a Sunday day/night doubleheader. Saturday's game lasted nearly six hours but New York pulled within 3 1/2 games of the first-place Red Sox with the win. However, the contest left both teams with uncertainty heading into Sunday's twin-bill Sunday, as each team used seven relievers in the longest game between the rivals at Fenway Park since 1966. New York turns to fill-in starter Bryan Mitchell in the matinee against Boston's Rick Porcello

The pitching matchup (Game 2): Masahiro Tanaka (7-8 & 5.47 ERA) for the Yanks and David Price (4-2 & 3.91 ERA) for the Red Sox. Tanaka has had a wildly inconsistent season and went into the break off a rough outing against Milwaukee last Sunday, allowing five runs in 4 1/3 innings while serving up two HRs. He's now allowed 23 HRs, the second-most in the AL. Tanaka is 6-3 with a 3.89 ERA in 12 career starts vs. Boston (NYY are 6-6). Price didn't come off the disabled list until May but has allowed three ERs or fewer in all but one of his nine starts, since. He owns a 4.76 ERA in his 36 career starts against the Yankees (he's 14-11 and his teams 21-15).

The pick: Tanaka posted his second career shutout with a three-hit gem at Fenway Park back on April 27 but was reached for five runs on five hits (including three HRs) in five innings of a rematch at Yankee Stadium last month. He is not to be trusted. Price may be unhappy (particularly with the media) but he's been very consistent since getting a late start to the 2017 season. Make Boston a 10* play.
