Yankees vs Red Sox Sunday Night Baseball Preview
Yankees Preview
The Yankees (48-34) are looking to avoid a four-game sweep by the division rival Red Sox. It's been a great season for the Bronx Bombers, but they've fallen on hard times recently. It's clear that they miss their superstar slugger, Aaron Judge.
Carlos Rodon takes the mound for the Yankees. He's putting up a 3.84 xERA with a 26.6% strikeout rate this season, but the 12.7% walk rate has been an issue.
They'll need him to put forth a quality outing in this spot because the bats are a bit cold at the plate.
Red Sox Preview
The Red Sox (35-46) have had a disastrous season. Part of that is due to injuries to key players like Garrett Crochet and Roman Anthony, but even with that, no one thought they'd be 11 games below .500 in late June.
Sonny Gray is on the mound for Boston, and he's been rock-solid for them, putting up a 3.80 xERA in 76.1 innings.
They'll look to complete the four-game sweep of the Yankees here.
Yankees vs Red Sox Picks, Betting Analysis
I'm riding with Yankees/Red Sox Under 8. We've got two veteran starters who are capable of going deep in games in Carlos Rodon and Sonny Gray.
Rodon has allowed three earned runs or fewer in all eight of his starts this year. Gray is on a similar streak, allowing three earned runs or fewer in 10 consecutive outings.
Then you have to consider the bullpens. The Yankees are third in xERA, while the Red Sox are 12th.
Despite that, we're getting a nice number at 8 in this spot, so we'll go with the under here.
Pick: Under 8 (-112)
