The set-up: This has been a completely lop-sided series so far and I believe that the home side is going to keep the foot on the gas for one more game and on the National stage. New York goes with Domingo German, while the Red Sox go with Chris Sale.

The pitchers: German (12-3, 4.03 ERA) comes in his worst start of the year, allowing eight runs off nine hits over three innings in a fortune no-decision.

Sale (5-9, 4.00) has given up just two runs off six hits over his last 12 innings of work while also posting 22 K's in the process (he owns a tiny 2.10 ERA in 19 career appearances vs. the Evil Empire.)

The pick: The Yankees are just 2-5 in their last seven and their starting pitchers have posted a combined ERA of 16.62. And that's bad news facing a Boston line-up which has already produced 52 hits in this series. Look for Sale to continue his recent progression with a vintage performance on Sunday Night.
