Tuesday\u2019s win also evened up the season series between these teams at two games each after the <strong>Red Sox<\/strong> took two of three at Fenway the second week in April.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Red Sox,<\/strong> meanwhile, have cooled off a little after a scorching-hot April. They came to the Bronx winners of three in a row and six of their last eight. But most of those wins came against bottom feeders like the Rangers and Royals.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"scratch-that\"><strong>Scratch That<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><strong>David Price<\/strong> was originally scheduled to start Wednesday\u2019s game. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonglobe.com\/sports\/redsox\/2018\/05\/08\/david-price-scratched-from-start-yankees-because-hand-numbness\/c9YfAOzl1UQl9GbQXvil5H\/story.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">But the Red Sox announced Tuesday that he would be scratched because of numbness in his left hand.<\/a> As a result, everyone moved up a day, meaning Rick Porcello will start against the Yankees on Wednesday. But that may not be bad news for Boston. In seven starts this season, <strong>Porcello<\/strong> is 5-0 with a 2.14 ERA, recapturing his Cy Young form of two years ago.<\/p>\n<p>When <strong>Porcello<\/strong> faced the Yankees in April, he tossed seven shutout innings, allowing just two hits. He also has great career numbers against almost every member of the Yankees. Brett Garner is the only player on New York\u2019s roster hitting over .200 over Porcello in his career outside of <strong>Giancarlo<\/strong> <strong>Stanton<\/strong>, who has two hits in three career at-bats against Porcello.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, the <strong>Yankees<\/strong> have heated up offensively since Porcello last faced them. Stanton has kicked it into gear. Didi Gregorius and <strong>Aaron<\/strong> <strong>Judge<\/strong> have remained consistent all season. Plus, even some of the team\u2019s ancillary pieces are contributing more regularly.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"bucking-a-trend\"><strong>Bucking A Trend<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>On the mound for the <strong>Yankees<\/strong> on Wednesday will be Masahiro Tanaka. The <strong>Japanese<\/strong> righty has been up and down this year, winning four of his seven starts but posting an uninspired 4.39 ERA. He also got hit hard for six runs on seven hits over five innings when he faced Boston a few weeks ago.<\/p>\n<p>Despite a rough outing against the Red Sox last month, <strong>Tanaka<\/strong> has decent career numbers against most of Boston\u2019s hitters. Key players like Xander Bogaerts, Mookie Betts, and Mitch Moreland have been more or less kept under wraps by Tanaka. However, the newest Red Sox slugger, J.D. Martinez, is 7 for 12 with three home runs in his career against Tanaka.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"first-place-up-for-grabs\"><strong>First Place Up For Grabs<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>First place in the AL East, at least for a day, is up for grabs Wednesday night. The Yankees would love to take that spot away from the Red Sox for the first time this season. However, Tanaka struggled against the Red Sox earlier this year, and Boston\u2019s lineup is tough to keep down for nine innings. Meanwhile, Porcello has been dealing all year, and he\u2019ll be able to cool off the Yankees for a night.\u00a0<strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/offshoresportsbooks.com\/review\/mybookie\/\">Bet the Boston Red Sox as the underdog in MLB action on Wednesday.<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><a href=\"https:\/\/offshoresportsbooks.com\/review\/mybookie\/\">Bet on Major League Baseball at BETUS<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees will get together on Wednesday in Major League Baseball.","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":2783,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3035],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2782","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archive"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.0 -
