Tann Houck has been a solid pitcher for the Red Sox the past 2 season.  He usually gets better as the season goes on.
The Yanks are still without Aaron Judge and their lineup is pretty punchless, the Yanks are just 5-6 in the month of June. The Red Sox took two of three at Yankees Stadium last weekend, so right away I like their chances here in the series opener at Fenway. 
Boston has gotten good starting pitching recently as the rotation has allowed 2 ER or less in 19 of the last 26 games. Friday starter Tanner Houck has gone at least five innings in 10 of his 12 starts thus far and has a 2.41 ERA in five previous outings vs. NY. THe NY Yankees bats have been ice cold with a  .215 in their  L7 games.  Let's take the Red Sox here on Friday night!
