Should the Red Sox even be home dogs? With Tanner Houck (2.71 ERA) on the mound, I don't think so. He has a 2.11 ERA career vs. New York. Boston is an MLB-best 15-2 (.882) on Sundays, outscoring opponents 102-53 in those games. The Sox offense leads MLB on Sundays in OBP (.358), SLG (.489), and OPS (.847). Boston also is 7-0 in rubber matches this year at home. Yanks starter Carlos Rodon was roughed up earlier at Fenway. He has a 5.00 ERA on the road. Yanks closer Clay Holmes most likely isn't available. Ditto setup man Tommy Kahnle.
