Free MLB Pick
We think that the Yankees have the edge here with Tanaka on the mound, but the last time the Red Sox left hander Miley pitched at Yankee Stadium he pitched okay going 5 1/3 innings allowing two earned runs. The value here is on Boston who just seems more interested at this point in the season with the Yankees’ Wild Card spot all but locked up.
