Looking Ahead to Sunday's MLB action (all times ET)

Sunday's action will be headlined by the return of Chris Sale, who started the season on the DL after suffering a foot injury in spring training. He's made some minor league tune-up appearances to get ready after missing spring training.

"Any so-called pain that's still in there is psychological. You hear about it a lot, guys get hurt and they kind of handicap themselves. I'm trying to go forward with what I'm supposed to do," he said to Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune earlier this week.

For whatever reason Sale gives me a Mike Mussina vibe, meaning he'll be truly great year after year after year, but always finish second or third in the Cy Young voting, never first. Either way, he's a must watch pitcher for me. Here is the rest of Sunday's schedule:

1:10pm: Tigers (Kyle Lobstein) @ Indians (T.J. House)

1:10pm: Cardinals (Carlos Martinez) @ Reds (Raisel Iglesias)

1:10pm: Rays (Nathan Karns) @ Marlins (Henderson Alvarez)

Game of the Day: Red Sox at Yankees
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boston Red Sox at New York Yankees (-111, 7)

After playing more than 10 hours of baseball in a span of just over 21 hours, the Boston Red Sox and the host New York Yankees will finally have some down time before a Sunday night matchup to close out a three-game series. The Red Sox claimed the 19-inning marathon in the series opener that ended Saturday morning and then rode a monster performance from Brock Holt - who went 4-for-5 with three RBIs in his first start of the season - to an 8-4 win Saturday afternoon.

The victory stretched their winning streak to three games and the Red Sox can record their first three-game sweep at Yankee Stadium in nearly four years. Dustin Pedroia and Daniel Nava had two RBIs apiece for Boston while first baseman Mike Napoli was hitless in four at-bats to fall to 0-for-17 on the season. Starter Joe Kelly limited the Yankees to a run on one hit in seven innings, dropping the ERA for Red Sox starters to 2.30 and New York's team batting average to .193. Both teams will throw out their Opening Day starters in the finale, with Boston turning to Clay Buchholz and the Yankees handing the ball to Masahiro Tanaka.

TV: 8:05 p.m. ET, ESPN

LINE HISTORY: Most books opened the Yankees in the -110 to -115 range with the total set at 7.

WEATHER FORECAST: Clear skies with zero chance of precipitation in this game. Temperatures will be near the 57°F-60°F with winds gusting southward at six miles per hour.

PITCHING MATCHUP: Red Sox RH Clay Buchholz (1-0, 0.00 ERA) vs. Yankees RH Masahiro Tanaka (0-1, 9.00)

Buchholz struck out nine, walked one and yielded just three hits in his seven-inning gem at Philadelphia on Opening Day in his 150th career start. He was 0-2 with a 6.88 ERA against the Yankees in 2014 and is 5-7 with a 5.64 mark for his career, spanning 15 starts. New York 1B/3B Alex Rodriguez is 10-for-25 with a pair of home runs against Buchholz, who is in line to make his home debut next weekend against Baltimore.

While Buchholz was outstanding in his season debut, Tanaka had some issues, giving up four earned runs in four innings of a 6-1 loss to Toronto. He tossed a complete game in his only previous home start against Boston on June 28, 2014, but was tagged with a tough 2-1 loss. Tanaka has posted a 2.44 ERA in 11 career starts at Yankee Stadium, striking out 83 while allowing 59 hits in 73 2/3 innings.

TRENDS:

*Yankees are 1-4 in Tanaka's last 5 starts vs. American League East.
*Over is 7-1 in Red Sox last 8 games vs. a right-handed starter.
*Under is 6-1 in Tanaka's last 7 home starts.
*Over is 4-1 in the last 5 meetings.

Kings Cousins, Gay to miss last 3 games

Center DeMarcus Cousins and forward Rudy Gay of the Sacramento Kings will miss the last three games of the regular season, the Kings announced on Saturday.

Cousins was examined in Los Angeles by Dr. Richard Ferkel, who determined that he has sustained multiple lower leg injuries over the course of the season, including ankle sprains and a calf strain.

In 59 games this season, Cousins averaged 24.1 points, 12.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.53 steals and 1.76 blocked shots.

Cousins is expected to be ready for training camp.

Gay sustained a concussion on March 30 and was held out of the next three games and after returning earlier this week, he experienced further symptoms.

In 68 games, Gay averaged a career-high 21.1 points, 5.9 rebounds, a career-best 3.7 assists and 1.04 steals.

Al Jefferson, Charlotte - Out Sun

Jefferson has missed the last four games with right knee soreness and will not play Sunday against the Pistons.

Nets-Bucks lighting up scoreboards, cashing overs

The Brooklyn Nets and the Milwaukee Bucks have topped the closing total in their past five contests against one another. The two teams have combined for an average of 219.6 points per game despite the highest total being 198.5.

Both teams have been trending toward the under this season with a combined over/under record of 71-87 on the year.

The Nets will travel to Milwaukee Sunday.

Slumping Pelicans offense a boon for under plays

The New Orleans Pelicans have gone under in their past five games. Through those five games the Pelicans have averaged 91.6 points per game, which is almost eight points less than their season average.

The totals have been fairly low, at an average of 192.6, but the past five games the Pelicans have played have seen a combined average of 187.4 ppg.

New Orleans visits the Houston Rockets Sunday.

Pistons becoming one of the hottest total teams

The Detroit Pistons have an over/under record of 9-2 in their past 11. The Pistons have an average combined score of 200.4 during their past 11 games, which is slightly higher than their season average but totals have been lowered to 196.4 per game.

Detroit has hit the triple-digit mark in eight of those 11 contests, with a stingy defense only allowing opponents to hit the century mark on five occasions.

The Pistons host the Charlotte Hornets Sunday.

**Udog** · 04-12-2015, 01:05 PM

Good luck today, Bum! I'm anxious to see how you call the Cards/Reds. I like this guy on the mound for the Redbirds. I picked him to have a good day.

**StarDust Bum** · 04-12-2015, 01:18 PM

Good Luck to you also Udog.......I liked that performance out of the pitcher from Arizona that beat Kershaw....
