Joey’s Friday MLB Free Pick! (963) New York Yankees vs (964) Boston Red Sox

I am taking the Boston Red Sox on the ML here at home against the New York Yankees. The Yankees snapped a 2 game slide with a commanding win over Detroit last night, but now take on Boston in a crucial series. Lucas Giolito takes the mound for the Sox who has been strong over the last month with a 2.10 ERA and has been consistent at home, with a 3.56 ERA. Luis Gil goes the other way for New York who has also been solid with a 2.03 ERA over the last month, but has poor ball control with 3+ walks in 4 of his L5 starts and giving Boston free bases at home where they are hitting a .438 SLG% will be costly. Boston is 6-1 at home off a loss this season when Lucas Giolito is pitching while the Yankees are just 1-2 when Luis Gil starts on the road.

Pick: Red Sox ML (+101)
