Yankees vs Red Sox Prediction

The current betting odds have the Yankees listed as a favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Yankees have been getting healthier lately and are starting to win more games again as they pull away with a 5.5 game lead over the Rays in the AL East. The Red Sox have also won a few games recently but this is also a team that gave up on the playoffs at the trade deadline and has no shot of making it this year. They are at home here and the Yankees have not been great on the road lately, but the Yankees have the better starter here with Cole pitching and now is the time for him to really get into a groove with the playoffs approaching, and he has been doing so in his recent starts. The Yankees have also found their offense again, scoring a lot more runs lately while the Red Sox have been relying on good pitching to win their games lately. The Red Sox have been struggling with their pitching all season though and they will regress once again with a hot Yankees lineup coming into town here. The Yankees cannot afford to lose anymore games to teams below .500. The best way to place a bet here is on the Yankees to win this game.

Notable Quotes

 
"Two wrecking balls to start it off. I want them up, and I want to try and get Judge in the best position to have a little bit of protection but have our guys behind him knowing he's going to be on base with our best chance to score." - Aaron Boone after his team’s win against the Rays on Sunday.
 
 
"He's a crafty pitcher. That's why I do believe he can pitch until whenever he wants to or his family lets him. You see him, (and) physically he stays in great shape. He's on top of the craft." - Alex Cora on Rich Hill after his team’s win against the Orioles on Sunday.
