3* Sunday Night Baseball SMASH Yankees +105
It is clear that the Yankees have Boston's number. They have won 4 straight at Fenway and 13 of the last 16 meetings overall. Defense and pitcher was supposed to be the strength of the Red Sox this season and both have failed them in the early going. New York is 21-8 because of good pitching and the bottom of the order, which has carried the team early on. The bad news for Boston is that Mark Teixeira and the top of the order got going yesterday. In addition, Burnett has been nothing short of brilliant with his 4-0 mark and 1.99 ERA. I must also note that the Red Sox are 0-5 in their last 5 games after losing the first 2 games of a series. Take the Yanks.
