#967/968 ASA TOP PLAY ON 10* Over 10 Runs – Boston Red Sox @ New York Yankees, Wednesday at 7:05 PM ET – These teams swung the bats quite well yesterday, particularly the Yankees, as there were 29 hits in the equivalent of 13 innings of baseball (Yankees did not bat in bottom of 7th of either game). We look for the hot hitting to continue here as the Yankees send a struggling Andrew Heaney to the mound and the Red Sox Nick Pivetta is likely going to see this hot Yankees team prove to be tough to shut down. New York has won 12 of 15 games and scored an average of 5.5 runs during this stretch. The Red Sox are 3-1 to the over in last 4 games against a left-handed starter and the average total runs scored in those 4 games was 15 and that includes Game 1 of yesterday's double-header against southpaw Montgomery. Overall Boston was plenty hot at the plate before struggling to score runs in yesterday's games and now they will enjoy big success against Heaney. The Yankees southpaw has been a disaster in his 3 starts since coming over from the Angels. Heaney has allowed 8 homers and 15 earned runs in 15 innings. Boston has given Heaney some problems too the last two times they have faced them. Pivetta is off back to back successful outings for the Red Sox. However, we can not ignore the fact that he was struggling just before this with 15 earned runs allowed on 24 hits in 20 innings of work. This one gets well into double digits in runs scored in most of our computer math models run for this game. This total is in the 10 range and our computer math model shows this one getting into a range of about a dozen runs scored with each club enjoying success at the plate and having a solid shot of getting to 6 runs apiece which, of course, would mean at least 13 runs (7-6 final at a minimum) in this one.
