Yankees/Red Sox sure to produce fireworks!

Posted by Rodney under Analysis, Game Previews 

Happy 4th of July to all! The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox will square off today in the second of a four game series, and will surely produce fireworks at the stadium.

Josh Beckett, 7-5 with a 3.65 ERA, will face Darrell Rasner who is 4-6 with an ERA of 4.92. Rasner has lost his last two starts and 6 of his last 7. He has never faced Boston in his career. He is 3-1 at home this season. Beckett is coming off a 7 inning no-decision against Houston, where he had been back and forth. 2-1 in his last five starts, Beckett has shut down potential. And we all know his past World Series history against the Yankees. In his career, Beckett is 6-3 against the Yankees.

Boston comes into the game 51-37, 3 full games behind Tampa Bay. The Yankees are 45-41, 8 full games back of Tampa Bay.

The Yankees need Rasner to throw well, and the bats to come alive! Go Yankees!
