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

Prediction published on 6/6/25, 3:27 PM  by Carlos Zabala | Modified on 6/10/25 at 9:30 AM in MLB Picks

Finally, the first Yankees-Red Sox classic of 2025 will be played in the Bronx, with more than 60 games played for each team. At this point in the season, the Yankees arrive with a lead of up to nine games over Cora's Red Sox. Cora struggled in their last series at Fenway against the Angels, losing the first two as betting favorites. Rafaela, with one of the shortest walk-off homers in MLB history, gave Cora a bit of joy by rescuing the last of the series in a game they won 11-9.

The hot bats on both teams are the usual suspects. Devers, for the Red Sox, has recovered from the slowest start of his career with the bat, and amid criticism of his insincere statements to the press, the Dominican is more than fulfilling his role as designated hitter. Devers' average average of 285, with an OBP of 408, with 12 HRs and 17 doubles.

For the Yankees, captain Judge has a career-high average of 389 in 60 games played this season, far surpassing previous seasons. He also increased his home run total to 21 against the Dodgers in the Los Angeles Dodgers.
