My FREE MLB Pick: New York Yankees
Playing at home will definitely help the Yankees out, but what else will help the Yankees out is the fact that they are sending out what could be seen as staff ace Domingo German. He has only lost 1 game all year and has really been a dominating pitcher on the season. Yes, the Red Sox have been able to play great and the pitching staff has done decent as well, but they are no match for the power of the Yankees hitters and pitching who will control the game. Final Score, New York Yankees win 6-4.
