New York Yankees vs Boston Red Sox Prediction: The Red Sox will put up the toughest resistance to the conference leader

The American League leader New York Yankees unexpectedly lost the series to Cincinnati and will now take on the historically major rival Boston Red Sox. Will the Yankees be able to make up for the loss to the Reds? There are several betting options to choose from.

New York Yankees

Apparently, the team was so involved in the series with Boston that they simply forgot to play the game in the series with Cincinnati. As a result, the Yankees lost to one of the biggest underdogs of the season (3:4, 7:6, 6:7). In the decisive game, the Yankees lost only in extra innings.

Starting for the Yankees on the pitching hill in the upcoming game will be Jordan Montgomery, 3-2 and has a 3.19 ERA in 17 games this season.

Boston Red Sox

The Yankees lost to Cincinnati in a frustrating loss, but the series didn't have the same tournament significance as Boston's away clash with Tampa Bay. Alex Cora's team fell apart, losing to their AL East division rival all 4 games (5:10, 2:3, 1:4, 4:5). Boston dropped to fourth place in the division standings, although they remain in the conference wild-card spot.

Nathan Eovaldi will pitch for Boston in the upcoming game, going 4-2 and with a 3.16 ERA in 12 games.

Expert Betting Tips

After four straight defeats to Tampa Bay in the first game of the series at Yankee Stadium, Boston will struggle. And it seems the Red Sox will succeed. The Yankees have slumped of late, and Boston pitcher Eovaldi, for example, has had four quality starts in a row. If the Yankees lose, it will be in a very tough contest.
