Yankees-Red Sox on Sunday Night Baseball

Yankees-Red Sox MLB

Yankees-Red Sox Battle on ESPN - Do Sox Have East Locked Up?



Does it get any better than the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry? There was some heavy wheeling and dealing before Tuesday’s non-waiver trade deadline. The New York Yankees (68-41, +0.91 betting units) hope they have what it takes to win the World Series.

They’ll visit their arch-rivals, the Boston Red Sox (78-34, +18.45 units) this Sunday at 8 PM ET on ESPN. The finale of a four-game set at Fenway Park.

Oddsmakers have the Red Sox as -115-moneyline favorites. The total is at 9Under -115.

The Boston Red Sox have all but extinguished their chief rival's chances at an American League East title. The Red Sox pushed their lead over the second-place Yankees to 8 1/2 games.

They have outscoring them 23-9 in the first three contests of the series after posting a 4-1 victory on Saturday afternoon.

The Yankees beefed up their rotation ahead of the deadline. They added JA Happ and Lance Lynn,. It will be Masahiro Tanaka (3.84 ERA) pitching on Sunday opposite David Price (2.97 ERA) this Sunday.

Price hasn’t had much fortune against New York in the past. Price is 2-6 with an 8.43 ERA against the Yankees since arriving in Boston two years ago. That includes an 11-1 loss to the Bombers (–180 at home) on July 1.

Aside from that result and some other hiccups, Price has performed quite well for the Red Sox this year. He has led them to a 14-6 record and 6.90 units in profit.

Tanaka hasn’t been quite as fortunate, posting 0.65 units despite a team record of 11-5. He’s coming off three straight quality starts. Tanaka hasn’t allowed an earned run in over 16 innings of work.

Manziel Gets First CFL Start for Alouettes

Montreal Alouettes

New Alouettes QB Faces Former Team on ESPN2



The fans at Percival Molson Stadium will see the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and the Montreal Alouettes when they take their seats on Friday Night.

Kickoff is at 7:30 p.m. ET and can be seen on TSN, RDS, and ESNP2. Oddsmakers have the Tiger-Cats as 7-point favorites. The total is at 50.5.

Johnny Manziel will make his much anticipated CFL debut tonight. Adding more intrigue to the matchup? It was just over one week ago that Hamilton shipped Manziel to Montreal in a blockbuster deal.

The 1-5 Als are in need of a spark.They hope that starting "Johnny Football" will be that catalyst. Sports fans across north America tuned in last week. The Als take on the Edmonton Eskimos and it was reported the former Heisman trophy winner may see the field at some point. It didn't happen.

Alouettes Had to Make the Change



The Alouettes were a 44-23 loser in their most recent outing at home against the Edmonton Eskimos. They failed to cover the +10-point spread as underdogs, while the total score (67) made winners of OVER bettors.

Montreal decided to keep Vernon Adams Jr. in for the game’s entirety in the blowout. The Als defense could not hold off the offensive prowess of Mike Reilly and company. They didn't want Manziel in a impossible situation.

It would have been difficult for Manziel to excel in a game situation after just a couple days at practice. The starting pivot says he feels prepared to take the field on Friday night.

I feel like the thing I’ve been missing even over the course of this year and a couple years is reps,” said Manziel. “As you guys have seen the past couple days the chance to get with the ones [first team offence] and get some reps is what I feel like I really need and what I’ve talked to a lot of people about. I feel very blessed to be in this position, to be back in a situation where I’m starting a game. source


The Als rank in the basement in a lot of categories heading into Week 8. Montreal’s offense is averaging a league low 15.3 points per game. The defense is giving up a league worst 420.3 yards per game. Something had to change.

The good news? The East Division is still up for grabs. A win against the 2-4 Ticats would put the Als in good position heading into the midway point of the season.

Tiger-Cats Look to End 3-Game Skid



The Ticats are looking to get back on track as well after starting the season 2-1. They have dropped their last three games.

Hamilton was a 21-15 loser in its last match at home against the Ottawa RedBlacks. They failed to cover the -6-point spread as favorites, while the total score of 36 sent UNDER bettors to the payout window.

Ticats QB Jeremiah Masoli completed 26 of 38 attempts. He threw for 352 yards with one touchdown and one interception. Masoli found Jalen Saunders with less than two minutes to go for the game’s only major (TD). That closed in on the REDBLACKS’ lead. It was too little too late.

Saunders finished the day with 154 yards on eight catches. Brandon Banks had nine receptions for 113 yards.

The TiCats will get a boost on offense with Alex Green slated to make his season debut on Friday night. He had been out after breaking his hand in the preseason.

Luke Tasker is also back in the lineup after missing the last two games with a lower body injury, as is Terrence Toliver.

Red Sox Looking to Dominate Yankees this Weekend

Red Sox Baseball

Red Sox and Yankees to be Slobber-knocker as Usual



The Red Sox dominated the Yankees on Thursday night in a 15-7 beat-down. Does this set the tone for this weekend series? If so does it set the tone for the way this race in the American League East plays out? Probably not!

Why not? It’s the Yankees and the Red Sox, that why!! These two have a larger history than any other teams in the majors. They love to play each other. They really get up for this rivalry. One never knows from night to night what might happen.

One can argue that this rivalry is not simply the biggest in baseball, it’s the biggest in sports.

If you want to have some fun this weekend be sure to not miss a single moment of this series. The even better news is that the bookies still have baseball bonuses.

The Red Sox send Porcello to the hill with a 13-4 record. He will take on Severino who sits at 14-4.

Can the Red Sox bats continue to light it up? Do they have any foreseeable shot at winning this game? Of course, they do! It’s Friday night baseball at Fenway. The Yankees could trot out Nolan Ryan and the Sox would still have a chance. These kinds of matchups are what make this series great.

Since the beginning of the American League, this is what has made this rivalry such a great one to follow. It matters not who is pitching.

The bookies should set this game at even odds. At the time of writing, the odds were Yankees -127. Now, this is not a big number and most Yankees fans will gladly pay .27 cents in juice.

It even seems like a great deal, but it’s not a great deal. Porcello is just as capable of having a great night as is Severino.

Ask yourself these questions for this weekend series between the Yankees and Red Sox:



  • Who’s bats do you trust more in this series?

  • What skipper do you believe in more to make the right moves and the right calls?

  • Who’s bullpen do you believe in more.

  • Beyond Severino, who do you believe in more; the Yankees rotation or the Red Sox?

  • Is there such a things as home field advantage and if so does it even matter in this series?

Now, let us answer for you:



  • The Red Sox are hitting .268 as a team, that’s first in the majors. The Yankees are hitting .257, not that far off the mark.

  • Alex Cora has pulled all of the right strings this year. He looks like a genius, better yet, he looks like Joe Torre! He really does have command of this ship. He makes all the right moves and this squad of Red Sox is clicking on all cylinders. When someone gets hurt, it “next man up”. They find ways to win, they find ways to overcome and they are relentless. It all starts at the top with Cora.

  • 50/50, a slight edge going to the Red Sox. They have the edge in the 9th and the edge in the middle with 22-16 holds.

  • The Red Sox rotation is a beast and they are better than what the Yankees have going. This is simply a fact and it can’t be disputed. Sale 11 wins, Rodriguez 11 wins, Price 11 wins, Porcello 13 wins and Kimbrell 33 saves.

  • In baseball, the home field advantage is nothing like other sports such as football. It does exist on some level and it is certainly ramped up come playoff time but not regular season. This series is an exception to any kind of home field advantage. The Yankees could sweep the Red Sox in Boston and the Sox could do the same in the Bronx. Both teams get up for this rivalry and they will give everything they have to win.

Blue Jays Visit Mariners on West Coast Road Trip

Seattle Mariners

Mariners Await Red Hot Blue Jays



A day after completing a three-game series against the Oakland Athletics, the Toronto Blue Jays continue their West Coast swing by paying a visit to Seattle to take on Félix Hernandez and the Mariners.

TV: 10:10 p.m. ET, Sportsnet (Toronto), ROOT Northwest (Seattle).

PITCHING MATCHUP: T Clippard (4-1) ERA: 3.73 vs. Mariners RH Felix Hernandez (8-9, 5.58 ERA).

ODDS: Mariners are -145-moneyline favorites. The total is 9.

The Jays’ roster is a shadow of its former self following the July 31 trade deadline. Mark Shapiro and the Jays’ brass dealt pitchers JA Happ, Seung-hwan Oh, John Axford, Aaron Loup and Roberto Osuna for a slew of prospects.

The young hopefuls are what is the beginning of a youth movement in Toronto. Furthermore, shortstop Lourdes Gurriel Jr. is expected to be out for two to six weeks following a leg injury. Those who are left on the Jays’ roster will be up against a Mariners’ team that has the playoffs in sight.

Unlike Toronto, Seattle acquired depth pitching at the deadline. This includes relievers Zach Duke, Adam Warren and Sam Tuivailala. Those pickups should go a long way in bolstering a Mariners’ pitching staff that sports the 17th best ERA in the Bigs (4.01).

They are only three games back of the Astros for first in the West. Seattle holds a two-game lead over the Athletics for the second wildcard spot. The Mariners feel they’re well positioned for a playoff berth. They’ll look to jump on the undermanned Jays this Thursday (10:10 PM ET).

Oakland Athletics

Trade Deadline is Passed -- Athletics and Jays have Different Looks

The Oakland Athletics have been taking out their frustrations on the Toronto Blue Jays this week. They look to complete a three-game sweep when they host the finale on Wednesday afternoon.

TV: 3:35 p.m. ET, MLB Network, Sportsnet (Toronto).

PITCHING MATCHUP: Blue Jays RH Marcus Stroman (4-7, 5.20 ERA) vs. Athletics LH Sean Manaea (9-7, 3.46).

The Blue Jays have a new infielder in Brandon Drury who has .561 OPS. He came over from the New York Yankees in a package for starting pitcher JA Happ. They also dealt reliever Seung-hwan Oh to the Colorado Rockies for a pair of minor-leaguers.

Depth will be an issue going forward for the injury-plagued Jays. Today's starter, Marcus Stroman (5.20 ERA) has regained his form of late.

Stroman has won three of his last four starts. That includes a triumph over the White Sox in Chicago on Friday in which he gave up two runs and seven hits over 6 2/3 innings.

Justin Smoak homered and Kendrys Morales recorded two singles and an RBI in Tuesday's loss. The Blue Jays fell to 2-3 on their 10-game road excursion. Smoak is riding a five-game hitting streak during which he has gone 8-for-27 after ending his 11-game home run drought.

Oakland Looks for Continued Offense Success



Oakland has bolstered their lineup as they try to chase down the Seattle Mariners. They are battling for the last Wild Card berth in the American League. Former New York Mets closer Jeurys Familia (2.56 ERA) will act as a potential set-up man for the squad.

Wednesday’s starter, Sean Manaea, has a 3.46 ERA this season. He hasn’t allowed more than three earned runs in a game since late May. Seven of his last nine appearances were quality starts.

Oakland carried a six-game winning streak into Colorado last weekend. They scored a total of four runs while being swept of the three-game set. The Athletics have bounced back. They outscored Toronto 16-3 while winning the first two contests of the series.

It is a good start to their eight-game string at home, where they've won four in a row.

Khris Davis belted his major league-leading eighth home run since the All-Star break. He went 3-for-5 with two RBIs in Tuesday's 6-2 victory.
