Why the Red Sox can pay on the MLB linesIf Boston can win Game 3 easily on the road, grabbing a series-clinching victory on Tuesday is not out of the question either, with the defending World Series champion Houston Astros awaiting in the AL Championship Series.The Red Sox do not need to worry about the Astros yet and must simply concentrate on eliminating their current opponent that knows them all too well. Former AL Cy Young Award winner Rick Porcello (17-7, 4.28 ERA) will toe the rubber for Boston and went 2-0 versus New York during the regular season to go along with a 2.31 ERA in four starts. Why the Yankees can pay on the MLB linesThe Yankees will be counting on a former Cy Young winner of their own in this spot with CC Sabathia (9-7, 3.65 ERA) getting the call in their biggest game of the year. Sabathia will likely be on a short leash but cannot fare worse than Luis Severino did in Game 3.

If he can just give the Yankees a few quality innings, they can win.Smart betting pickThis has been an unpredictable series so far, with New York seemingly taking control after stealing a Game 2 win only to give it back in a Game 3 blowout. But Boston does not want to host a Game 5 on Thursday and wants as much time to prepare for Houston as possible. The Red Sox will do it here and move on to the ALCS for the first time since winning the World Series in 2013.MLB betting trendsThe total has gone over in seven of Boston's last eight games.The total has gone over in five of Boston's last six games on the road.The total has gone over in nine of New York's last 10 games.All MLB odds and betting trends according to Bleacher Report鈥檚 official odds partner, OddsShark.
