Steve Merril's Sunday Night MLB Preview (Yankees @ Red Sox)

By: Steve Merril     Date: Sep 15, 2013
Print Article   

The Red Sox will be hosting the Yankees once again on Sunday Night Baseball.

SUPER NOVA

Ivan Nova has been a revelation for the Yankees going 8-4 with a 3.17 ERA and 1.28 WHIP this season. He was limited to 79 pitches his last time out due to triceps tightness and he is listed as questionable for this start. Nova last saw the Red Sox on September 5th when he gave up 3 runs and five hits in four innings of work. The Yankees’ starter has not flashed the strikeouts too much putting away only 15 hitters total in his last five starts via the K. Nova has not allowed more than six hits in his last four starts.

MOLDING THE CLAY

Clay Buchholz has been incredible for Boston going 10-0 with a 1.61 ERA and 1.01 WHIP. His return from the disabled list went well as he gave up just three hits and a walk in five innings pitched against Tampa Bay. Buchholz last faced the Yankees back on June 2nd when he gave up just two hits and one walk in five innings of work. He opened up the year in New York back on April 3rd by picking up a win while allowing 1 run and six hits in seven innings. Boston’s starter has allowed just 12 runs in seven home starts this season. He has walked just one batter in each of his last three outings and he has given up just two home runs all year.

INJURY REPORT

These are two of the more banged up teams in the league. Jacoby Ellsbury is out with a compression fracture for Boston. They are also without bullpen arms Andrew Bailey, Andrew Miller, and Joel Hanrahan who are all done for the year. The Yankees’ lineup is getting closer to full strength, but they are without Derek Jeter, Brett Gardner, Travis Hafner, Kevin Youkilis, Jayson Nix, and Mark Teixeira. Youkilis seems to be the only one who will return this season and he’s not even a guarantee.

TRENDS

Yankees are 10-4 in Nova’s last 14 Sunday starts

Yankees are 7-2 Over in their last 9 Sunday games

Red Sox are 35-16 in Buchholz’s last 51 home starts

Red Sox are 4-0 Under in Buchholz’s last 4 Sunday starts

HITTERS TO WATCH

Robinson Cano 12-for-29 vs. Buchholz

Alex Rodriguez 9-for-23 vs. Buchholz

Dustin Pedroia 4-for-10 vs. Nova

David Ortiz 5-for-14 vs. Nova
