New York Yankees vs Boston Red Sox 9/25/22 MLB Picks, Predictions, Odds

The Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees meet in an AL East division matchup in MLB action from Yankee Stadium on Sunday night baseball.

The Boston Red Sox will look to rebound from a 7-5 loss at the hands of the Yankees in Saturday’s matchup. Xander Bogaerts has 166 hits, a .315 batting average and 38 doubles while Rafael Devers has 152 hits with 39 doubles. Alex Verdugo has 10 home runs and 71 RBIs while Devers has a team-high 27 home runs and 84 RBIs. J.D. Martinez also has 40 doubles, a .270 batting average and 55 RBIs this year and Trevor Story has 66 RBIs as well for Boston. Brayan Bello will start here and is 2-6 with a 4.75 ERA and 47 strikeouts this season.

The New York Yankees will try to build off of yet another win over the Red Sox to keep the win streak going. Aaron Judge leads the Yankees with 60 home runs and 128 RBIs along with 170 hits and a .314 batting average in addition to 27 doubles while Gleyber Torres has 26 doubles and DJ LeMahieu has 18 doubles of his own. Anthony Rizzo also has 20 doubles so far this season, in addition to logging 32 home runs and 74 RBIs. Nestor Cortes Jr. will start here and is 10-4 with a 2.67 ERA and 146 strikeouts this season.

Boston is 13-5 in their last 18 Sunday games and 17-38 in their last 55 games against a team with a winning record while the over is 4-0 in their last 4 games following a loss. New York is 4-1 in their last 5 Sunday games and 52-19 in their last 71 home games while the over is 11-1 in their last 12 games following a win.

I get the reasoning for backing either side, as this is obviously a rivalry and both teams just want to beat the other, not matter where either one is in the standings. That being said, I like the over here as this entire series has been higher-scoring and I look for Sunday’s matchup to be no different, especially with the starting pitching matchup we have here. Give me the over.
