</h2>
<p>
<b>New York:</b> Masahiro Tanaka (12-6 3.75 ERA)<br />
<b>Boston:</b> David Price (16-7 3.58 ERA)
</p>
<p></p>
<p>
In Tanaka's last start of the regular season, he gave up three earned runs on six hits in only four innings in an 8-7 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays. After winning three in a row with him on the hill, the Yankees have lost his last two starts where he gave up eight earned runs in eight innings. In Tanaka's start previous to the last one he faced the Red Sox and was not sharp giving up five earned runs in four innings in an 11-6 New York loss. The Yankees are 2-2 in Tanaka’s four starts against the Red Sox this season where he has a less than stellar ERA of 7.58.
</p>
<p>
In Tanaka's career against the Red Sox, he is 8-4 with an ERA of 4.35 in 18 career starts. The Yankees have lost four of Tanaka’s last five starts facing a team with a winning record, but they have won his last four Saturday starts.
</p>
<p>
In Price’s last start of the regular season he gave up three earned runs on six hits, and the lineup helped him out some in a 19-3 w3in over the Baltimore Orioles. The Red Sox lost his previous start against the Yankees where he gave up four earned runs in five 1/3 innings. The Red Sox lost three of Price's four starts against the Yankees this season.
</p>
<p>
While the Red Sox are 2-5 in Price's last seven starts against the Yankees, they are 4-1 in his previous five starts facing them in Boston. In 17 career playoff appearances Price has an ERA of 5.03, and in two post-season outing past season against the Houston Astros he pitched six 2/3 innings and did not give up any earned runs. The Red Sox have won 21 of his last 27 home starts.

New York at Boston Prediction 10/06/2018

The Red Sox bullpen was a little shaky giving up two runs, but they prevailed to take a 1-0 lead in this series. Both Tanaka and Price have not been in top form over their last couple of starts so the total might be worth a few bucks. That said I expect Price to have the worst outing with his pitching history. Price is 0-8 in nine career playoff starts and this season facing the Yankees he was 0-3 in four starts where he had a bloated 10.34 ERA. New York will take this game in Boston, and even the series and have the home-field advantage heading home for Game 3.
