Red Sox vs Yankees Free Pick June 8, 2017 – Jesse Schule

Red Sox vs Yankees Free Play June 8, 2017

The Red Sox trail the Yankees by just one game in the AL East standings, and the two teams wrap up a three game set in the Bronx Thursday night. I’ll give the edge to the Yankees, who have won five of the last six meetings between the two teams.

David Price will toe the slab for Boston, making just his third start of the season. Price (1-0, 3.00 ERA) allowed one run on three hits, striking out seven in seven innings in a 5-2 win at Baltimore his last time out. He’s struggled against the Yankees, going 5-6 with a 5.93 ERA in his last 15 starts against them.

New York will hand the ball to Michael Pineda, who is having a fine season. Pineda (6-3, 3.76 ERA) allowed five runs on 10 hits in just five innings in a loss at Toronto his last time out. He’s been great at home, going 5-1 with a 2.31 ERA in six starts in the Bronx.

The Red Sox have lost four of Price’s last five starts, while the Yankees have won five of Pineda’s last six home starts.

Take NYY.
