YTD 6-3
NEW YORK YANKEES @ BOSTON RED SOX >>>> OVER 9.5 +103
NY Yankees (13-11, 4-8 away) at Boston (15-11, 7-4 home) 7:05 PM. EST
The New York Yankees have waited more than two years to get another crack at Josh Beckett. Now there is added incentive with him wearing the uniform of their arch-rivals.
Beckett will start for the Boston Red Sox in Tuesday's finale of a two-game series against the Yankees, whom he dominated en route to World Series Most Valuable Player honors in 2003.
As a 23-year-old on October 25, 2003, Beckett pitched a five-hitter in Yankee Stadium as the Florida Marlins posted a 2-0 victory in Game Six to clinch their second World Series title in franchise history.
Acquired in a trade with the Marlins over the winter, Beckett (3-1, 4.50 ERA) won his first three starts with the Red Sox before going 0-1 with a 10.64 ERA in his last two outings. He surrendered nine runs, six hits and five walks in 3 2/3 innings of a 15-3 loss at Cleveland on Thursday.
After concluding April with four losses in five games, the Red Sox posted a 7-3 victory in Monday's series opener. David Ortiz delivered an RBI single in the first inning and capped a four-run eighth with a three-run homer.
Ortiz will look to improve upon a .316 average and 57 RBI in 72 lifetime games against the Yankees when the Red Sox face Shawn Chacon (3-1, 4.56) on Tuesday.
Since making a pair of relief appearances last month, Chacon has allowed just two runs and eight hits in 13 1/3 innings to win both starts. In his only start against Boston since being acquired from Colorado in July, Chacon surrendered five runs and six hits in three innings of a 9-2 setback in Yankee Stadium on September 10.
Johnny Damon, who spent the previous four seasons with the Red Sox, went hitless in four at-bats Monday in his first game at Fenway Park as a member of the Yankees.
