Winning wOBA picks for Friday's baseball slate
The SportsLine wOBA Projection Model stands at 107-62 (+34.92 units) as the second half of the season kicks off Friday night. Our Mike McClure breaks down five games to consider.

Â
Boston Red Sox (+110) at New York Yankees, 7:05 p.m. ET -- The Red Sox as road underdogs against Michael Pineda at Yankee Stadium? Sign me up. I know Pineda has been really good at home and has a great bullpen behind him, but he shouldn't be favored against Steven Wright and this Red Sox lineup. Pineda has allowed a .344 wOBA to all hitters in 2016, which puts him below league average in a poor pitching environment. The Red Sox lineup is simply much better than the Yankees and the wOBA Model thinks Pineda will struggle in this division rivalry game.
