5* Best Bet
(MLB) Boston vs. NY Yankees,
Money Line: 100.00 NY Yankees (Home)
Result: Win
Taking the YANKEES here. A couple things I like. One, we have the Yanks off a game where they were flat out pummeled giving up 14 runs. Now they face their hated rivals in the Red Sox with Buchholz on the hill. He hasn't fared well vs NY posting a 5.32 ERA and a WHIP of 1.60. And that is including him going 3-0 with a .50 ERA and .167 BA last year. He didn't look sharp with a flat fastball last game vs the Brewers and for 6 runs and 13 hits in 4+ innings. Pineda on the other had is off a great spring training which looked like it carried over striking out 5 in 6 innings of work. He hasn't pitched in nearly 2 years so he should be new to Sox batters. 5* Best Bet NY YANKEES
