This is the series finale of a 3-game series with the Red Sox on Sunday with the 2nd game of this series still to be played on Saturday. The Yankees lost the series opener of this series on Friday. Their offense ranks 3rd in the MLB with a .760 OPS. Marcus Stroman is their starting pitcher on Saturday while Carlos Rodón is making his start in this game on Sunday. He is 10-7 with a 4.42 ERA this season. His team lost 6 of their last 7 games this season with him making an appearance. In his last MLB regular season start, he allowed 1 ER, 1 HR, and 2 BB with 10 Ks on 2 hits through 7 IP against the Tampa Bay Rays.

The Red Sox are entering this series off a loss and lost their 3-game series against the Colorado Rockies 2-1 in their last series. They enter this game with a 55-47 record overall and have a home record of 25-25. This is the 3rd game of a 3-game series with the Yankees on Sunday with the 2nd game of this series still to be played on Saturday. The Red Sox won the 1st game of this series on Friday. Their offense ranks 4th in the MLB with a .758 OPS. Kutter Crawford is their starting pitcher on Saturday while Tanner Houck is making his start in this game on Sunday. He is 8-6 with a 2.71 ERA this season. His team won 2 of their last 3 games this season with him making an appearance. In his last MLB regular season start, he allowed 4 earned runs, 2 homers, and 3 BB with 2 strikeouts on 10 hits through 6 innings played against the Colorado Rockies.

The current betting odds have the Red Sox listed as a slight favorite in this game according to Draftkings Sportsbook. The Red Sox have looked good in their games this season with their 55-47 record overall which has them in 3rd place of the AL East and fighting for a Wild Card spot. They have looked worse in their home games this year with their 25-25 home record. Meanwhile, the Yankees have looked great in their games this season with their 60-45 record overall which has them in 2nd place of the AL East with one of the best records in the entire MLB, but they have looked terrible in their games lately and now have the Red Sox right on their tail in the division. The Red Sox won the 1st game of this series against the Yankees in a high scoring game too, but their pitching will be better in this one. The Red Sox are going with Houck in this one and he is 8-6 with a 2.71 ERA. He did give up 4 earned runs in his last start, but that has been a rare occurrence for him this season, and the team has also won 2 of their last 3 games with him starting. Houck will be looking to bounce back at home here and he has a really hot offense to help him out if he does get into any trouble. The Yankees are going with Rodon in this one and he is 10-7 with a 4.42 ERA. He looked great at the start of the season, but lately he has been giving up a lot more runs. He only gave up 1 earned run in his last start, but the team has had no success with him lately, losing 6 of the last 7 games he started in. The Red Sox are creeping closer and closer to the Yankees in the AL East and the Yankees have struggled against the Red Sox a lot this season, this is a game that Boston can take advantage of the pitching matchup in. The best way to place a bet here is on the Red Sox to win this game.
