Talking the business of sports
One of baseball's fiercest rivalries takes center stage on Sunday Night Baseball when the Boston Red Sox (56-59) host the New York Yankees (72-42). New York has been in a slump before picking up a much-needed 3-2 win on Saturday. Prior to that, the Yankees dropped three straight. Meanwhile, Boston had its two-game win streak halted with Saturday's loss. Michael Wacha (6-1, 2.69 ERA) will be on the mound for Boston, while Jameson Taillon (11-2, 3.95 ERA) gets the start for New York.
First pitch is set for 7:08 p.m. ET. New York is listed at -135 on the money line (risk $135 to win $100) in the latest Yankees vs. Red Sox odds from Caesars Sportsbook.

Outfielder Aaron Judge is having a sensational season. Judge has continued to hit home runs all season long with his effortless swing. Despite being 6'7, the four-time All-Star doesn't have any holes in his swing. Judge has great plate coverage and bat speed. He's first in the league in home runs (46), RBI (100), and OPS (1.086).
Third baseman Josh Donaldson has impacted the game both offensively and defensively. Donaldson brings power and run-producing abilities to the table for New York. He's patient at the dish with superb instincts. Donaldson has belted 11 home runs and 43 RBI. The three-time All-Star is also solid in the corner with a rocket of an arm.
Third baseman Rafael Devers is an impactful player with superb instincts. Devers owns a smooth glove and solid throwing arm from the corner. The two-time All-Star has the pitch recognition skills needed to thrive. Devers is 12th in the majors in batting average (.303), sixth in OPS (.930), and tied for eighth in doubles (31).
Left fielder Alex Verdugo has been an athletic playmaker for Boston. Verdugo has the speed to cover plenty of ground in the outfield. The 26-year-old is patient at the dish and will draw his fair share of walks. Verdugo's bat speed is above-average, allowing him to quickly turn on any pitch. He's batting .277 with seven home runs and 54 RBI. On Aug. 13, he went 2-for-2 with a double.
SportsLine's model is leaning over on the run total, projecting 9.5 combined runs. It also says one side of the money line has all the value. You can only see the model's MLB picks at SportsLine.
