This will be the first meeting of the 2016 regular season between the Yankees (8-12, –5.90 betting units) and the Red Sox (12-9, +1.84 units). Masahiro Tanaka is scheduled to take the mound for New York, while Boston is expected to respond with Henry Owens, one of the top prospects in the system.
Owens has been pressed into service because of injuries to the Red Sox rotation; in his 2016 debut, the 6-foot-6 southpaw gave up three runs over 3.1 innings in a 7-5 win over the Houston Astros (–105 at home). Tanaka (3.14 FIP) might never be the same pitcher he was before he tore his elbow during his 2014 “rookie” campaign, but he's played at a high level this year, leading the Yankees to three wins in four starts for a profit of 2.05 units.
MLB : Yankees-Red Sox at Fenway Park
One of the most enduring rivalries in sports resumes Friday night when the Boston Red Sox (12-9, +1.84 betting units) welcome the New York Yankees (8-12, –5.90 units) to Fenway Park for Game 1 of a three-game series. First pitch is at 7:10 PM ET on the MLB Network.
The Yankees are expected to go with ace Masahiro Tanaka (3.15 FIP), while the Red Sox will give prospect Henry Owens his second big-league start of 2016. On Sunday, Owens gave up three runs to the Houston Astros in just 3.1 innings, but Boston (–105 away) escaped with a 7-5 victory.
