New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox Betting Prediction
The Red Sox send veteran RHP Michael Wacha to the hill against New York’s second-ranked scoring offense on Sunday night (5.23 RSPG), who’s arguably having the best campaign of his ten-year career sitting 6-1 with a 2.69 ERA in 13 appearances this season (1.11 WHIP), despite posting a lackluster 4.35 ERA and 1.60 WHIP across his last four starts (20.2 IP, 10 ER).
On the other hand, the Yankees send RHP Jameson Taillon to the mound against Boston’s 15th ranked scoring offense tonight (4.46 RSPG), who’s also having a solid campaign sitting 11-2 with a 3.95 ERA across 22 starts this season (1.14 WHIP), which already includes a solid performance against the Red Sox (6 IP, 1 ER); along with a miserable one (5 IP, 6 ER).
I’ll back Boston here, as Taillon has been incredibly inconsistent for New York as of late, considering he’s surrendered three runs or more in eight of his last 12 starts for the Yankees (5.52 ERA, 1.37 WHIP); setting the stage for an unfavorable matchup against the Red Sox and Wacha, who’s 3-1 with a 2.55 ERA across his last six outings (1.13 WHIP), and 1-1 with a 3.35 ERA across 6 career starts against the Yankees (1.06 WHIP).
Score Prediction: Red Sox 5, Yankees 3
Best Bet: Red Sox ML (+115)
