New York Yankees vs Boston Red Sox Prediction & Picks - MLB

Prediction published on 9/13/24, 3:13 PM  by Carlos Zabala in MLB Picks

Yankees and Red Sox have split 5 wins apiece in the last 10 games between them, Yankees have won the last 3 games and also the winner of the classic in each of the last 10 games has always won and also has always covered by winning by 2 runs or more, except for Thursday's game that Yankees won 2-1.

Houck will pitch for the Red Sox on Friday, the Red Sox have not won in 4 of Houck's last 5 starts, the Mets were able to hurt the right-hander when in his last start they gave him 4 ER and 5 IP.

Schmitt, on the other hand, is in a good moment of the season where in his last 5 starts he has a very low ERA of 0.92, the total game in his last two games was set at 7.5 by the betting sites and in no case did it result in a Game Total OVER. Before the last start against the Cubs, Schmitt had strung together three starts in which he threw more than 100 pitches.

The Yankees and Red Sox both seemed to be in an offensive slump in the final month of the season. Boone said of the Yankees, "We haven't had a lot of offense in us there the last few nights but (we're) doing enough. I thought we had some good at-bats tonight."
