The Red Sox are running away with the AL East thanks to an eight-game winning streak. They now have a comfortable 4.5-game lead in the division and I expect them to increase the lead by at least one game by Sunday. For whatever reason, they've also gone 8-1 in their last nine Fridays. I'm staying with the hot team, Boston wins.

The Red Sox are on an eight-game winning streak. Starter Eduardo Rodriguez has a 4-1 record against the Yankees and has pitched well in three starts in Yankee Stadium. At this point of his career, New York starter Jaime Garcia is a below-average pitcher. Take Boston with the plus-money payback.

Jaime Garcia’s Yankees debut last week did not go according to plan. Garcia lasted less than five innings as the Indians scored five runs off him. Red Sox starter Eduardo Rodriguez hasn't won since May 26, but I look for him to step up in key spots and deliver the road underdog win.
