Red Sox vs. Yankees Pick
Moneyline Pick for Red Sox vs. Yankees
- Yankees -135 (4 units)
Boston has sputtered all year long and issues with their pitching staff is a big reason why. Suarez has been decent but not great so far this season. He’s averaging just 5.1 innings a start, which isn’t what Boston was hoping for when they handed him a hefty contract in the offseason. New York has their own issues with Aaron Judge on the IL with a stress fracture in his first rib. He’ll be sidelined for four to six weeks, and the Yankees need to get other guys to step up and contribute in the interim. Warren has pitched well this season and the Yankees are tough at home. Give New York the advantage in this contest.
