Our Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees Prediction

Obviously, neither team did a good job at the plate yesterday. But over the last week, the Yankees have hit .278 with 18 home runs; Boston, .223 with 23 runs scored across six games. Warren isn’t great, but he should be able to handle himself against a poor-hitting  Red Sox team. Crochet will certainly do the same vs. the Yankees lineup. If you want to pick a winner, I’d go with the Yankees. But I think the TOTAL is the better bet.

Our Yankees vs. Red Sox Pick: UNDER 8.5
