\n<\/b><\/p>\n

\"New<\/a>
New York Yankees 1B Mark Teixeira has been steady at the plate in recent weeks<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Boston has dropped five of seven games on its current road trip, but it did manage to come away with a 5-4 victory over the Seattle Mariners as +125 underdogs Wednesday, while going OVER the betting total for a fourth consecutive affair.\u00a0 The Red Sox received a much-needed off day, considering it ended a stretch of playing 36 games in 37 days last time out\u2014compiling a 16-20 record in that period of time.\u00a0 Boston is 6-1 on the road with a total of 9 to 9.5, with the UNDER going 5-2 in that situation.<\/p>\n

Red Sox starting pitcher Brandon Workman (1-0, 2.88 ERA) didn\u2019t earn a decision in a 3-2 home loss to the Cleveland Indians on June 15, as he allowed two runs and five hits over six innings of work.\u00a0 The right-hander is 1-0 with a 3.12 ERA in four road appearances (three starts), with opposing hitters batting .177 against him.\u00a0 Workman help the Yankees to a .167 mark over 3.1 innings in four relief appearances in 2013.<\/p>\n

New York ended a four-game losing streak by picking up a 5-3 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays as +101 road underdogs Wednesday, while going UNDER the betting total for the first time in four affairs.\u00a0 Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira is starting to wake up offensively\u2014batting .250 with four home runs and 12 RBIs in his last 14 games played.\u00a0 Outfielder Carlos Beltran is also important to watch, considering he leads the club with three round trippers in the season series.\u00a0 New York is 5-2 at home with a money line of -100 to -125 during the 2014 campaign.<\/p>\n

Yankees starting pitcher Vidal Nuno (1-4, 5.88 ERA) will try to snap a personal four-game losing streak, which includes a 6-1 setback at home to the Baltimore Orioles last Saturday.\u00a0 The left-hander is 0-3 with a 7.09 ERA in eight home games (seven starts)\u2014serving up 13 home runs in 39.1 combined frames.\u00a0 Nuno will make his first appearance in this storied rivalry.<\/p>\n

Sports bettors will likely back the Red Sox due to the Yankees being 0-6 in Nuno\u2019s last six efforts at this ballpark.<\/p>\n
