Boston 63% - Boston will be out for revenge for game one of this doubleheader, and they will have a modest edge in starting pitching to boot. Ponson will be unlikely to keep the Boston lineup down in any meaningful way, and then the weaker part of the Yankee bullpen will be called upon. Lester will not have to give a lights out performance to keep Boston well ahead. If it does turn into a close slugfest, however, Boston will still have an edge, playing at home, going against an extended Yankee pen.
Oakland 57% - Kansas City will have the same undervalued rating in this game that they have had for most of the year at home. De La Rosa is iffy, but so is Loaiza. Loaiza did have very good velocity in his last start, but it will take more than one solid outing to make him a legitimate favorite on the road against anyone. De La Rosa has also showed some good signs in his last few starts. Oakland will have a strong bullpen edge, which is likely to factor in significantly. Still, Kansas City is likely to be competitive throughout this game.
