Chalk worth laying here with the Yankees, who are 12-2 in their last 14 games.
New York is 50-31 at home this season. The Yankees are facing lefty Connelle Early, who has all of 19 1/3 innings of big league experience. The Yankees not only lead the majors in runs and homers, but rank first against southpaws in slugging percentage, on-base percentage and OPS.
New York also is going with a rookie starting pitcher. But Cam Schlitter has proven himself with a 2.96 ERA in 73 innings. He has allowed two runs or less in nine of his last eleven starts.
Boston is averaging only 2.6 runs per game in its last six games obviously missing Roman Anthony.
