If history is any indication then there could be a lot of runs scored on Wednesday night in Boston as the Red Sox host the New York Yankees. Keep this in mind when considering tonight's Yankees vs. Red Sox betting odds, which at press time were at Red Sox -122.
Chien-Ming Wang gets the start for New York and he has not pitched well so far this season. Tim Wakefield gets the call for Boston and while he has pitched well this season for the Sox he has struggled in this career against New York.
SBG Global reports that early MLB Betting has the public taking Red Sox at Home.
Wang is 0-3 on the season with a bloated 14.46 ERA. He allowed five runs to the Rangers in his last start in only 4 2/3 innings of work. He is 3-3 with a 5.11 ERA at Fenway in his career.
Wakefield has been excellent at home this season going 4-0 with a 3.00 ERA. He has had problems against New York in his career though, going 10-17 against the Yankees with a 5.03 ERA.
The Yankees and Red Sox have resumed their positions at the top of the American League East so things are definitely back to normal in this series.
"From our standpoint, I believe we have a lot of similarities being in a big market and having high expectations," said Red Sox third baseman Mike Lowell. "I look forward to it. I think it's a great way to see how you measure up at certain points in the season. I know they've been playing really good baseball and I feel like we're getting into that groove where we're going to be playing some of our best baseball. They're always exciting games, and two teams mixed up with a lot of talent." The Red Sox had a lot of early season success against the Yankees but New York has played superbly since Alex Rodriguez returned and has taken the division lead. "They have a great team," said second baseman Dustin Pedroia, "They've been playing good baseball. We have to come out and play good baseball, too. Hopefully we come out and win the series."
Here are the MLB Betting stats for Wednesday's game. The Yankees are 21-8 in Wang's last 29 road starts. The Yankees are 5-1 in Wang's last 6 starts vs. the Red Sox.
The Red Sox are 38-14 in Wakefield's last 52 starts as a home favorite. The Red Sox are 2-5 in Wakefield's last 7 home starts vs. the Yankees.
