Prediction published on 6/16/24, 3:18 PM  by Carlos Zabala in MLB Picks

Red Sox took game 2 vs Yankees. Aaron Boone's men were favorites with -190 odds for that match. Since June 8, the Yankees had not lost a game by at least 2 runs. Devers continues to be the Yankees' usual nightmare, yesterday he drove in his 65th run against the Yankees in his career. Tyler O'Neill has the bat hot recently, yesterday he hit another RBI double and ended Rodon's impressive streak winning 7 games in a row. The Red Sox had 12 hits and reduced the Yankees' offense to 6. Winning this series against the Yankees would be key for the Red Sox since they will then have 3 series in a row against teams with baseball under 500.

5 times in the last 10 the underdog team has won between Red Sox and Yankees. For the Yankees, Stroman will start in great shape, with an ERA of 1.40 in his last 5 starts, averaging 91 pitches per game and the Yankees having won in his last 4 starts. Crawford will start for the Red Sox and is going through a slump in his game. The Red Sox have lost in all of their last 5 starts and in each of them he received at least 1 HR.
