Chris’ Pick

I’m looking at the Red Sox in both legs of the double-header here. Boston’s simply had New York’s number over the course of the season and I trust the tandem of Pivetta and Crawford over the one of Vazquez and Rodon. I also just can’t get behind the Yankees given their track records against righties this season. Give me Boston for the double-header sweep.
