8:05 PM EST. We were close to recommending the Red Sox at -114, as that number has been coming down a bit all morning but there is just as much value (or more) on them to win by two or more as there is by one or more. What we’re seeing lately is the Yankees leaking oil and the Red Sox can smell this wounded prey from a mile away.

David Price (LHP) may never again be the ace that the Red Sox are paying for but he has taken the ball 21 times this year, posting respectable ratios (3.97 ERA, 1.22 WHIP) and winning 11 games. Furthermore, Price has excelled of late, logging a strong start in each of his past three starts. Those who want to get aggressive with Price can do so on the basis of New York playing without stud sluggers Aaron Judge and Gary Sanchez. That said, this one is more about getting a very good price on Boston to beat the Yanks again.

The Yanks are getting some market love here because Masahiro Tanaka (RHP) has been at his best of late, striking out 17 batters across 15 scoreless innings in his past two starts and he has an ERA of 0.84 over his last three starts. Most publications publish the results of the last three starts so those recent results have big market influence. What those results don’t tell you is that Tanaka’s last two starts came in Tampa Bay, perhaps the most difficult park in the AL for hitters, and then against the free swinging Orioles. While we take nothing away from Tanaka, he’s been prone to the long ball (1.7 HR/9 rate) and is set to face a potent Red Sox lineup that leads the majors in OPS at home (.845) and OPS vs. righties (.814). Tanaka’s stock is high and we’re sellers because Boston is making New York look very average in this series and we'll trust them to bring the hammer down again.

PLEASE NOTE: One of the unique things about our website is that we provide write-ups every single day on every game we post. We’re not sure if everyone understands how time consuming that is and how difficult it is as well but if you do not, please try it one day and you’ll see.

That said, we’re not going to change that. We’ll have write-ups every single day like we always do but we’re also going to have another feature. You see, we post our games usually in the early afternoon or before 1:00 PM EST but there is a lot of movement and other intangibles that occur throughout the day that has influence on what we’re betting. Usually after 6:00 PM EST or thereabouts, we’re going to be adding other games that we’re betting on in a section called “add-ons” for today that we ARE NOT going to write up because it’s too time consuming and with an hour or less before the first game goes off, we just won’t have the time.

This is a feature that you will see on our home page with the other wagers and we’ll also tweet it out when our add-ons have been posted.
