ROB VINCILETTI: MLB ESPN POWER SYSTEM PLAY 78% L3Y
(MLB) Boston vs. NY Yankees,
Money Line: -101.00 Boston (Away)
Result: Loss
The ESPN Power play is on the Boston Redsox. Game 927 at 8:05 eastern. Boston has taken it to the Yanks in this early season series. Tonight they look to get the sweep and will have to Take Down Tanaka. In his first start Tanaka allowed 4 runs in 4 innings. Afterward Toronto Hitters made note that his fastball now down in velocity is not as hard to hit and his other pitches are not nearly as deceptive as they were when he was at full strength early last year. This is going to be a lingering Problem for Tanaka and the Yanks, especially the 2nd time through the order. In his 17 innings here vs Boston he has allowed 9 runs in 17 innings. He may struggle with this vaunted Boston lineup. Buccholz goes for the Yanks and he has won 2 of his last 3 here allowing just 3 runs in 18 innings. In his last 6 road April starts he has won 5 of 6. On top of that home favorites with a total of 8 or less that are off a home favored loss by 2 or more runs where they scored 4 or less runs on 5 or more hits with 3+ errors are 2-10 vs an opponent off a road dog win by 2 or more runs if they scored 5 or more runs and 0 errors. Look for Boston to take the finale.
