Boston Red Sox vs NY Yankees Prediction

I’ll just stay with the Yankees here. Stroman had a bit of trouble back on June 6 versus the Twins, giving up five earned on six hits and two walks in 4.2 innings during a no-decision. In two of his last three starts however Stroman is 2-0 with one earned run in 13.0 combined innings. As for Crawford, he’s 0-3 in his last trio with 11 earned in 18.0 innings.

On Saturday the Yankees saw a rough outing from Rodon and the relievers, so they were quickly in the hole. If Stroman can hold it together on Sunday the offense should be able to help out.
