This lefty has a record of 16-5 and an ERA of just 2.55. Sabathia is one of the most dominant pitchers in the game and is in superb form. His ERA in his last eight starts is a remarkable 1.01. He has an outstanding fastball that works very well with his changeup and slider. Surprisingly, Sabathia has not had a great deal of success against Boston this season. His ERA is a disappointing 6.16 against the hard hitting Red SoxThe Red Sox start John Lackey who has a record of 9-8 and an ERA of 6.23. This veteran has not pitched well this season. He was smashed all over the park against Cleveland on Monday . He gave up five earned runs on eight hits in nearly seven innings. Lackey's winning record is mainly due to the outstanding Boston offense that has got him out of trouble all season long.These two great teams are locked together at the top of the AL East. They have an identical record of 68-42 and hold a ten game advantage over third placed Tampa Bay. I think the safest option in this game is to back the over total runs market at around 2.0.Both pitchers are vulnerable for different reasons and could make costly mistakes. In addition the Red Sox have been on fire offensively at Fenway Park this season and are averaging .304 as a team. The Yankees are averaging .261 on the road which represents the third best record in the AL.
