The New York Yankees have had as many players on the IL as any team in baseball, key players too, yet they are still among the best teams in the league. James Paxton (5-6 4.72 ERA) gets the start for the Yankees as they take on their rival Boston Red Sox and Eduardo Rodriguez (13-4 4.13 ERA). Paxton pitched eight scoreless against the Red Sox and then in his last start allowed seven earned runs in four innings. You can bet he is ready to bounce back today. Rodriguez has a great record, but has allowed five earned runs in 11 innings against the Yankees this season (4.09 ERA). Boston is 1-4 SU in their last five games and the Yankees are on fire at home, winning 15 of their last 20. The Yankees are 7-4 SU against Boston this season and will continue to keep winning as Boston's losing streak reaches five.

MLB | White Sox vs Phillies
Play on: White Sox +175 at 5dimes
Know this about the White Sox and Ivan Nova. Both are bad. However. The White Sox have a winning record against lefthanded starting pitching. Philadelphia is starting southpaw Jason Vargas, who isn't about to be confused with Sandy Koufax. Nova actually was decent in July going 3-2 with a 3.16 ERA. Nova has been excellent during his past two starts giving up two earned runs in 15 innings against the Marlins and Twins, who lead the majors in homers and are third in runs scored. Nova beat Minnesota, 5-1, this past Saturday. Nova is familar with the Phillies having pitched for the Pirates from 2016 through last season. Nova owns a 2-1 mark with a 2.53 ERA in five appearances versus Philadelphia. So, at this plus price, the White Sox with Nova are worth a shot. Vargas is 36 and pitching for his sixth different big league team. His fastball is rumored to be able to break glass. But that's just a rumor. He's a bottom-of-the-rotation starter. The White Sox can attack Vargas with several respectable righthanded power hitters - Jose Abreu, Tim Anderson and James McCann - all of whom have hit at least 11 homers. Citizens Bank Park is an excellent hitter's park and the wind is blowing out to left at 8-10 mph.

For Friday, play the Mariners and the Astros to hold Under the total at Minute Maid Park.
Seattle just played their last pair of games at Texas Over the total, but they will be facing a Houston team that enters having held Under the total in 6 of their last 8 games.
The Astros have a grooving pitcher on the rubber in Wade Miley who is seeking his 10th win this year, and who sports a scant 1.47 ERA for his last 3 starts on the hill. Miley has seen each of those last 3 starts hold Under the total, and has seen 7 of his last 9 starts overall hold Under the total.
At home, Miley stands at 4-1 with an ERA of 1.92. 8 of his 9 home starts this year have landed Under the total too!
Yusei Kikuchi will go for the M's, and while he has been inconsistent in his first season in America, he is coming off a solid effort against Detroit in his last start, allowing only 2 runs to score in his 6-plus innings pitched.
I am banking on the Low to come through for Friday.
2* SEATTLE-HOUSTON UNDER
