Red Sox at Yankees MLB Odds & Picks: The Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees will play game-3 of their four games series at new Yankee Stadium in front of a national ESPN audience Sunday night (8:05 pm ET). Each club will be going with some big guns from the mound. Starting for New York will be right-hander A.J. Burnett who will be gunning for his 10th win. At 9-9, Burnett has a 4.93 ERA. Countering for the Red Sox is right-hander Josh Beckett. The Boston veteran is 3-1 this year with a 5.70 ERA.
The Yankees are listed -135 favorites on the BetUS.com moneyline with a nine run total. Red Sox backers are getting +125 moneyline odds. For any action to count, Burnett and Beckett must start the game.Burnett was shelled in his last outing vs. the Blue Jays Monday, allowing eight hits, eight runs and two walks in 4 2/3 innings. After tossing 11 consecutive scoreless innings, the righty regressed and surrendered seven runs in the fifth inning.
The ace has been terrific since returning from the DL, going 2-0 with a 2.18 ERA in three starts. Beckett went a season-high eight innings in his last outing, giving up three hits and a run in a win over the Indians.
Ramiro Pena drove in a pair of runs to help lead the Yankees over the Red Sox 5-2 on Saturday, as -220 favorites. That game's seven runs went UNDER the posted nine runs set by Bodog. John Lackey suffered the loss for the Red Sox, giving up eight hits and five earned runs over his six innings.
MLB Picks: We do not expect today's game to be a high scoring affair. That's why we expect the total to fall UNDER the posted nine runs.
