New York Yankees vs Boston Red Sox Prediction: The chances of winning is close

This week's edition of Monday Baseball takes place at Yankee Stadium and features a clash between AL East division rivals the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees.

In their series against the Chicago White Sox, the New York Yankees could only manage one victory, and it came in the decisive third game. In spite of this, the home team could only watch as they played poorly against the Yankees before coming back stronger in the second game. While the under is 6-2 in New York's previous 8 home games, the Yankees have a winning record of 13-6 in their last 19 three-game series. The Yankees will go with Clarke Schmidt in the starting rotation. Schmidt has a record of 2-6 with a 4.96 ERA and 66 strikeouts so far this year. The Yankees have a 0.576 percentile, which places them in the fourth spot in the standings of the American League as they head into this clash.

After eking out a narrow victory by a score of 2-3 in the first game of this series, the Boston Red Sox could only watch as they were defeated by a score of 3-1 in the second game. The Boston Red Sox have a record of 2-5 in their previous 7 games across all competitions, and they have a record of 15-36 on the road in their last 51 games versus a team that has a winning record. Meanwhile, the total game score has gone under in each of their last four games within the division. This will be Brayan Bello's first start of the season for the Boston Red Sox. He currently has a record of 3-4, a 3.97 ERA, and 46 strikeouts.

I'm not going to rush to the betting window for this one, but I have a strong preference for Boston in this matchup since I'm just not a big fan of Clarke Schmidt at all. The Yankees have the more intimidating lineup on paper, but the Yankees just don't have the same bite, in my opinion, without Aaron Judge, and I feel like this is a wonderful confidence booster spot with the present status of the Yankees' roster. As a result of this, I believe that the Boston Red Sox will emerge victorious in what is anticipated to be another tight match.
