Thanks to a remarkable surge during the past two weeks, Boston’s (92-64) poised to enter the postseason party for the first time in three years. Stalwart veterans David Ortiz (.321/.406/.632) and Dustin Pedroia (.319/.377/.452) continue to lead the majors’ most explosive offensive attack. Hanley Ramirez is enjoying a banner September, too, hitting .341 with 10 homers and 26 RBIs through 22 tilts.
Meanwhile, lefty David Price (17-8, 3.91 ERA) somewhat quietly carries an eight-start winning streak into this evening’s affair. The perennial All-Star may trail teammates Rick Porcello in Ws, but few hurlers in the sport have been as dynamic in the second half. Price’s last setback came on Aug. 7 at Dodger Stadium.
For the Bronx Bombers, Luis Cessa (4-3, 4.30) will try to get back on track. The righty holds a 0-3 mark with a 4.50 ERA over his past five outings. He’s allowed a whopping 15 dingers across 58 2/3 innings of work.
Having staved off hard-charging Toronto yesterday, the Yanks (80-76) certainly don’t want to watch their biggest nemesis stage a celebration shortly. Yet it’s practically impossible not to believe in Price at the moment. Opt for the visiting crew here.
