(MLB) NY Yankees vs. Boston,
Money Line: -161.00 NY Yankees (Away)
Result: Loss
The Yankees are coming into this game with a 50-22 record this season and they have been playing very well in their recent games as they are the only team in the MLB to win 50 games so far. They have won 5 of their last 6 games and they are coming off of an 8-1 win against the Red Sox in their last game. Their offense has been great in these games as they have scored at least 8 runs in 3 of their last 4 games, and their pitching has also been good as they have been averaging under 3 runs allowed per game in their last 5 games. They are going up against a Red Sox team that is 35-35 this season, but they have been much worse at home this year at 16-20. They beat the Phillies in their last series, but they still have 4 losses in their last 7 games with 2 of those losses coming against the White Sox. Their pitching has not been great either as they have still allowed at least 6 runs in 2 of their last 4 games. Cooper Criswell is starting for the Red Sox in this game and he is 3-3 with a 4.13 ERA this season. He has been allowing a lot of runs this season and has not been pitching well in his recent starts either. He allowed 4 runs in his last start and has allowed at least 4 runs in 2 of his last 3 as well as 3 of his last 5 games. He is going to get himself into trouble here against one of the better offenses in the league this season as the Yankees have been very hot on offense recently as well. The Red Sox bullpen will not be able to bail him out either. Carlos Rodón is starting for the Yankees in this game and he is 9-2 with a 2.93 ERA this season. He is coming off of a start which he allowed just 1 earned run in and he has allowed 2 earned runs or less in 6 of his last 7 starts as well. Rodon will be able to shut down this Red Sox lineup with the way he has been pitching recently, but he also has the much better bullpen to back him up as well. The Yankees are going to win this game.
