Yankees vs Red Sox Prediction

The current betting odds have not been listed for this game yet. Both of these teams have been starting to win more games lately but the Yankees are trying to protect their division lead while the Red Sox are not going to the playoffs this season. The Red Sox have Bello starting here and he has not been great in his starts as his team has lost almost every game he has started in this season. Bello has not been awful himself in his recent starts though, and Montas is pitching for the Yankees here who has looked shaky since coming to the team. Montas has not been pitching well in his starts as a Yankee and the Red Sox should be able to put up some runs on him here at home. They are a big rival team of the Yankees and they will want to spoil their chances at winning the AL East so they will come with their A-game here. The Yankees are also dealing with injuries to their pitching staff and lineup as they look ahead more to resting players for the playoffs than winning games now. The best way to place a bet here is on the Red Sox to win this game at home.
 
Yankees Red Sox Prediction:  Our MLB Pick for Wednesday, September 14, 2022 (7:10 pm ET start time) is Red Sox 7 Yankees 3.

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.
