The Red Sox Can Win If…

The Red Sox have a strong lineup, ranking 7th in batting average at .254 and 6th in slugging percentage at .416. They are also 2nd in doubles with 120. These stats show their ability to get on base and score runs, making them a threat in any game.

Rafael Devers leads the team with a .285 average and 12 home runs. Walker Buehler will start for the Red Sox, bringing experience with a 4.44 ERA. The Red Sox’s lineup and pitching depth give them a solid chance to win against the New York Yankees.

The Yankees Can Win If…

The New York Yankees are coming off a strong 4-0 win against the Cleveland Guardians. Max Fried was key, pitching six innings with only one hit allowed and seven strikeouts. Cody Bellinger also shined with a home run and three RBIs, helping the Yankees’ offense stay hot.

The Yankees have a solid batting lineup, ranking first in on-base percentage at .342. They are second in home runs with 98, showing their power at the plate. With Aaron Judge leading the team with 21 home runs, the Yankees’ offense can be a challenge for any pitcher.

The Lean

The Yankees are favored with a moneyline of -175 against the Red Sox’s +146. The Yankees have a strong batting lineup, ranking 2nd in slugging percentage and home runs. Their pitching is also solid, with a team ERA ranked 8th. My model projects a Yankees win with a score of 5-3.

The current over/under line is set at 9.0 runs. The Yankees’ pitching, with the best batting average against at .216, suggests a lower-scoring game. The Red Sox have a middle-of-the-pack ERA of 4.00. My model projects a total of 8 runs, so the recommendation is to take the under.

Yankees Hope for Different Outcome vs. Red Sox’s Walker Buehler

The last time New York faced Walker Buehler, he was clinching a World Series title for the Dodgers. Now, in a Boston Red Sox uniform, Buehler steps into Yankee Stadium on Friday in a matchup full of AL East tension. Signed to a one-year deal, he’s had an uneven start this season (4-3, 4.44 ERA) and gave up five runs on 10 hits in his last outing at Atlanta.

Buehler’s 2024 hasn’t matched his championship form, and he’s 0-2 with a 4.85 ERA in his last three starts. Still, his big-game presence is a threat the New York Yankees won’t take lightly.

Yankees Catch Fire Ahead of Rivalry Clash

New York enters the weekend hot, winning 19 of its last 26 games. They shut out Cleveland 4-0 on Thursday behind Max Fried’s one-hit performance, and Cody Bellinger added a two-run shot, pushing his average to .317 over the past month.

Will Warren (3-3, 5.19 ERA) gets the ball for New York. He’ll be looking to recover from a brutal outing against the Dodgers, where he allowed seven runs in just over an inning.

Boston’s Record Doesn’t Tell the Whole Story

The Red Sox have struggled in one-run games (6-17), but they’re still dangerous. Jarren Duran and Ceddanne Rafaela have been hot, and Rafael Devers remains clutch in late innings. Boston totaled 34 hits in their last three games — all close — showing they can produce, even if the wins haven’t followed.

As the first of six meetings between these rivals kicks off, the Bronx is ready.
