The New York Yankees will host the Boston Red Sox in the second game of a four-game series at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx. Fans can see the game on the MLB Network or Prime Video once it gets underway at 7:05 p.m. EST. 

New York took an early 2-1 lead with a run in the bottom of the fourth, but the advantage was short-lived as the Red Sox tacked on a run in each of the next three innings, making the score 4-3 after seven innings. Boston tacked on a pair of insurance runs in the top of the ninth to make the final 6-3. Boston, which had entered the series on a three-game losing streak, will turn to Brayan Bello to start on the mound tonight. Bello is 9-6 in 21 starts (22 appearances), with a 3.23 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, and .244 OBA. On the road, he has a 2-3 record in seven starts with a 3.60 ERA and .242 OBA. As for the Yankees, they’ll turn to Max Fried. Fried is 13-5 in 25 starts with a 3.26 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, and .228 OBA. He’s been at his best when pitching at home, where he is 5-2 in 11 starts with a 2.67 ERA and .211 OBA.

Boston Red Sox - New York Yankees Key Points

  1. The Yankees lead the all-time series vs. the Red Sox, 1258-1045-14.
  2. The Yankees had won the last five in a row prior to losing last night’s game.
  3. The New York lineup has a .254 BA against Bello in 91 at-bats (23 hits, including three home runs).
  4. Fried faced the Bello/the Red Sox in Boston on June 15, where he pitched seven innings, giving up six hits (one home run) and two earned runs; Bello also lasted seven innings, but gave up no runs and only three hits.

Our Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees Prediction

Bello has done well vs. the Yankees over the years, posting a 2.21 ERA across nine appearances. The Red Sox will need his best game if they are going to compete against a Yankee lineup hitting .290 over the last week with 19 home runs. Boston’s lineup will need to break out of its funk for the Red Sox to stand a chance. I’d lean towards the Yankees ML, but that’s not the best bet.

Our Red Sox vs. Yankees Pick: UNDER 8.5
