Red Sox vs Yankees Prediction

Our prediction is that the Yankees will pick up a 6-5 win over the Red Sox, which has us staying away from the money line, as the payout isn’t worth the risk. Instead, we are recommending taking the over, as we have this game finishing with 11 total runs, and with the line sitting at 8.5, there is some good value there.

Looking at the starting pitchers, we have Carlos Rodón finishing with six strikeouts compared to Kutter Crawford with five. Rodón is also projected to go deeper into the game, but we don’t have him getting the win, as he has the 11th best odds among starters.
