Yankees at Red Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 6, Red Sox 5

Moneyline

Rodon snapped out of a bad slump with a dominant performance against Tampa last time out. His fastball averaged 95.5 mph, which is more in line with where it was in his 2022 season when he had a 2.88 ERA. The Red Sox are just 14-18 against lefties, and they hit just .252 with a .405 SLG% as opposed to .261 with a .446 SLG% against righties.

Take the YANKEES -115.

Run line/Against the spread

O’Neill is 2-for-3 with a double against Rodon in his career. He’s also hitting .333 with 9 HR and 15 RBIs in 93 at-bats against lefties this season.

I’m keying on TYLER O’NEILL OVER 1.5 H+R+RBI (-120) after he hit 4 homers in the last 3 games.

Over/Under

It’s slated to be a humid, 71-degree evening with a 7-mph breeze blowing out to right-center. The Yankees are 7-3 O/U in their last 10, and Boston is 6-4. The Over is 6-2-2 in the last 10 meetings and 3-1 in the last 4.

LEAN OVER 9 (-120).
