Yankees at Red Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Red Sox 4, Yankees 3

Moneyline

BET RED SOX (-160).

With each teams' recent play throughout this series, the moneyline is the best play for Sunday. The Red Sox have found a lot of success with Crochet on the mound. They are 14-3 over his last 17 starts while the lefty has allowed 2 or fewer ER in 9 of his last 11 starts. He also leads the MLB with 228 strikeouts and is fifth-overall with his 2.57 ERA.

For the Yankees, it is the opposite. In his 2 starts against the Red Sox, Warren has faced a lot of struggles with the Yankees also losing 3 of his last 4 starts.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

Due to the Red Sox losing 3 games in a row and the Yankees winning 3 games in a row, neither team can be trusted and the moneyline is the best play.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 8 (-115).

The Red Sox have hit the Under in each of their last 5 games while Crochet does an exceptional job of limiting runs scored. The team has allowed 4 or fewer runs in 4 of their last 6 games.

The Yankees have allowed 3 or fewer runs in each of their last 3 games and in 5 of their last 7 contests. Offensively, they have scored 4 or fewer runs in 6 of their last 8 games.
