Saturday comp play comes from London, England where the Yankees and the Red Sox will do battle. I will play the first of two games to go Over the posted total.
This totals release has everything to do with the dimensions of the diamond these A.L. East rivals will be playing on. Yes, there is a ton of foul ground with the layout of this field, but there is also some very short distances to travel for the baseball to leave the yard in fair territory, as down the left-field and right-field line the distance is just 330', while to hit one out in dead center the distance is just 385'.
The Yankees have homered in every game this year, well, it's actually 29 straight games, but it sure seems like the Bronx Bombers homer in every game. That being the case, look for New York to treat the fans to a display of home runs this weekend.
It will start with today's game against Rick Porcello who allowed 5 runs on 9 hits in under 5 innings of work versus the Yankees back on June 1st. Procello is just 1-3 with an ERA of 4.75 in 4 starts in the month of June,
Masahiro Tanaka will get the ball for the Yankees, and he has a penchant for giving up the long-ball, so count on Boston bopping a couple out against the Yankee hurler. Tanaka's career ERA against the Sox is 4.35.
With the field pretty much a band-box, go Over in Yankees-Red Sox London Calling, Part One.
5* N.Y. YANKEES-BOSTON OVER
