Our free sports picks stay red hot even though we loss yesterday with a +210 game on Pittsburgh. The Boston Red Sox have been playing some offense of late averaging five and a half runs a game and are batting .266 against right pitching. However, that has not translated into wins as they have dropped 3 of their last 4 games. They look for some road revenge as they travel to New York to take on the Yankees who took 2 of 3 games in Boston. In that series the Yankees scored a total of 27 runs!. Tonight both offenses will be facing right handed starters. New York has seen Boston’s Phil Hughes once this season while New York has not faced Daisuke Matsukaka this season. Now Matsukaka has steadily improved since his first start of the season on May 1st where he left with an enormous ERA of 11.57. Matsukaka bounced back in his last outing allowing just one run on three hits over seven full innings. Yankee starter Phil Hughes has been impossible to touch this season as he only surrendered six runs on twenty two hits in thirty nine incredible innings. Hughes has not allowed more than two runs in any start this season and on May 7th held Boston to two runs on seven hits going a full seven innings.
