New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox Prediction
I’m backing Boston here. If you told me a year ago I’d be backing Jake Bennett against Gerrit Cole, I’d think you’re crazy. That being said, Boston’s easily been the better team in the first two games of this series and Yankees/Red Sox is always one of those sets where records can be meaningless and these teams just want to beat each other. I think it’s more of that here so I’m rolling with the Red Sox for another W here.
