The Boston Red Sox look to get on the board as they take on the New York Yankees in the 3rd game of a four-game set Wednesday night at Yankee Stadium.
New York took over first place in the American League East by winning the first two games of this series, 13-5 Monday night and 2-1 Tuesday. The Yanks now lead the division by a game and a half over the Sox.
Boston is 17-15 on the road this season, and 25-15 as favorites.
New York is 18-9 at home this year, and 5-5 as underdogs.
The Red Sox are 3-5 on their current road trip, while the Yankees have won nine of their last 11 games, mostly with a jumbled line-up.
New York now leads the season series with Boston this year 5 games to 4, with the over/under going 6-3.
Boston’s Schilling (8-2, 3.86) has allowed 7 ER and 20 hits in his last 21 IP, and has not issued a base on balls over that span. On the season, Schilling owns a 73/9 strikeout/walk ratio.
In two starts vs. the Yankees this season, Schilling has given up 7 ER and 15 H+W in 13 IP.
The Red Sox are 10-2 in Schilling’s start this year, the o/u 7-5.
New York’s Wright (3-3, 4.12) has allowed 5 ER and 25 H+W in his last 16 1/3 IP. In three starts vs. Boston this year and last, Wright has given up 5 ER and 24 H+W in 13 1/3 innings of work.
The Yanks are 5-3 in Wright’s starts this year, the o/u 3-4.
New York leads the majors with its .375 team OBP, and averages 6.0 runs per game.
Boston owns a .364 team OBP, 3rd-best in the majors, and averages 5.4 RPG.
The Red Sox bullpen has allowed 8 ER and 21 H+W in its last 15 IP.
The Yankees pen has given up 7 ER and 21 H+W in its last 16 IP.
New York SS Derek Jeter has missed the last two games with a bum thumb, and he probably won’t play Wednesday. The Yanks are already without Ofs Gary Sheffield and Hideki Matsui, and 1B Jason Giambi and 3B Alex Rodriguez have both missed games recently due to various ailments.
The o/u is 32-23 in Red Sox games this year, 31-25 in Yankees games, but only 12-14 at Yankee Stadium.
