Red Sox vs Yankees Prediction

The current betting odds have the Yankees listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Yankees have looked really good in their games this season with their 38-23 record overall which has them right at the top of the AL East with one of the best records in the entire MLB. They have also looked great in their own ballpark this year with their 20-10 home record. Meanwhile, the Red Sox haven't looked good in their games this season with their 30-34 record overall which has them right near the bottom of the AL East. They haven't been a good road team either with their 13-18 road record. Both of these teams have great starters in this game so this is going to come down to the better offense and that is something the Yankees can take advantage of. The Red Sox do have a very good offense this season and is in the top 10 at the moment, but the Yankees are still better with one of the best offenses in the entire MLB. They also have the home advantage here and have been the hotter team lately as they are 7-3 in their last 10 games while the Red Sox are 3-7. Yarbrough is on the mound for the Yankees and he is 3-0 with a 2.83 ERA. He gave up 1 earned run in his last start and the team has won 4 games in a row now with him starting. Crochet is on the mound for the Red Sox and he is 5-4 with a 1.98 ERA this season. He is also coming off a great start in which he gave up 1 earned run, but his team has lost 3 of the last 4 games he started and their bullpen hasn't looked great this year either. The best way to place a bet here is on the Yankees to win this game. 

Red Sox Yankees Prediction:  Our MLB Pick for Saturday, June 7, 2025 (7:35 pm ET start time) is Yankees 2 Red Sox 0.

Notable Quotes


“You saw Raffy put the ball in play. The ball went through. I'm not saying just give up your bat to weak contact, but the game will dictate what you do.” - Alex Cora after his team’s win against the LA Angels in their game on Wednesday.


“He’s really good. They made him work; it was a lot of deep, 3-2 counts. He had to work pretty hard for it tonight, but I thought his stuff was great. He had a lot of swing-and-miss going tonight, and he featured a little bit of everything, I thought.” - Aaron Boone after his team’s win against the Guardians in their game on Thursday.
