Yankees vs Red Sox Free Pick August 18, 2017
The Red Sox have won 11 of their last 13 overall, and they are four games clear of the Yankees at the top of the AL East standings. I like Boston in Game 1 at Fenway Friday. Drew Pomeranz will toe the slab for the Sox, and he’s had an outstanding season. He’s 7-2 with a 3.43 ERA in a dozen starts in Boston, and he’s 3-0 with a 2.69 ERA in his last six starts overall. He’s 2-0 with a 4.08 ERA in three starts against the Yankees this season. New York will hand the ball to Jordan Montgomery, who has struggled in the second half of the season. He’s 1-2 with a 4.85 ERA in his last six starts. In one start at Fenway this season, he allowed three runs on six hits and three walks in four innings in a no decision. Aaron Judge is really struggling at the plate, batting just .185 since the All Star break. He’s hit .174 with 20 strikeouts against the Red Sox this season. Take BOS. GL, Jesse Schule
