Sunday Night Baseball: Red Sox at Yankees
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boston Red Sox at New York Yankees (-166)

The Yankees host the Red Sox for the finale of a three-game series on Sunday Night Baseball.

FELIX THE CAT

Felix Doubront gets the call for Boston. This will be his third look at the Yankees this season. Way back on April 21, the southpaw allowed just one run and four hits over six innings; Boston lost that game 15-9. His most recent attempt at beating the Yankees was on July 7. In that game, Doubront gave up four runs and four hits in just over six innings of work. Boston won that game 9-5. Doubront has been the beneficiary of a lot of run support as the Red Sox have scored six runs or more for him in six of his last nine outings. Doubront has been alternating good starts and bad starts over his last four outings.

KURODA THE KID

Hiroki Kuroda's first season in the American League has gone well. The righty is 10-7 with a 3.34 ERA and 103 strikeouts to just 34 walks. He has faced the Red Sox just once this season back on July 6. The righty allowed seven runs and 10 hits in 5 2-3 innings, but he got a no-decision in New York’s 10-8 win. Kuroda has been spectacular as of late allowing two runs or less in eight of his last 11 starts. At home, Kuroda has been lights out. He has given up just 15 earned runs in his last eight home starts. Kuroda has also shown great control walking more than three batters just once.

INJURY BUG

Both teams are not at full strength. The Yankees are without Mariano Rivera, Alex Rodriguez, Brett Gardner, Joba Chamberlain, and Andy Pettitte. Only Rodriguez and Pettitte are expected back this season. New York did acquire Ichiro Suzuki to fill in for Gardner. Boston is without David Ortiz, Daisuke Matsuzaka, Andrew Bailey, and John Lackey.

TRENDS

Red Sox are 5-1 Over in their last six Sunday games
Red Sox are 7-2 in Doubront's last nine road starts
Yankees are 42-20 in their last 62 Sunday games
Yankees are 10-3 Under in Kuroda’s last 13 starts

HITTERS TO WATCH

Cody Ross 5-for-22 vs. Kuroda
Adrian Gonzalez 8-for-26 vs. Kuroda
Curtis Granderson 2-for-8 vs. Doubront
Robinson Cano 0-for-7 vs. Doubront
