The New York Yankees put an 8-0 beating on the Boston Red Sox in the opener of this two-game series Tuesday night. I like the price we get on the visitors to bounce back and deny the Bronx Bombers a sweep here with Nathan Eovaldi on the mound.

Eovaldi (0-0, 8.40 ERA) has admittedly had a poor start to the season, but the Red Sox have still won each of his three starts. Eovaldi is very familiar with the Yankees organization after pitching for the club 2015 and 2016 and the 29 year old right-hander has dominated previous meetings with the Yankees. He limited them to one run in seven innings in Boston's 16-1 win in Game 3 of the 2018 ALDS in the last matchup.

The home team turns to J.A. Happ (0-2, 8.76 ERA) who much like Eovaldi has had a rocky start to 2019. He gave up six runs in just four innings his outing, and the last time the left-hander faced Boston, in Game 1 of the 2018 ALDS, he was tagged with five runs in two innings.

Red Sox are 9-4 in their last 13 games vs. a left-handed starter and 5-0 in Eovaldi's last 5 starts. Yankees are 2-7 in their last 9 games following a win and 1-6 in their last 7 when their opponent scores 2 runs or less in their previous game.

8* play on Boston Red Sox.
