The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox meet Saturday in MLB action at Fenway Park. The Yankees look for a win after winning seven of their last 10 games. The Red Sox look for a win after splitting their last eight games. 

The New York Yankees have scored 17 runs in their last three games and four or more runs in five of their last eight games. The Yankees have won five of their last six games when scoring four or more runs. DJ LeMahieu leads the Yankees with 75 hits and 27 RBI while Aaron Judge and Gio Urshela have combined for 141 hits and 69 RBI. Jordan Montgomery gets the ball, and he is 3-1 with a 4.03 ERA and 75 strikeouts this season. Montgomery is 1-0 with a 4.13 ERA and 25 strikeouts in his career against the Red Sox.


The Boston Red Sox have scored seven runs in their last three games and four or more runs in five of their last nine games. The Red Sox have won five straight games when scoring four or more runs. Xander Bogaerts leads the Red Sox with 85 hits and 45 RBI while JD Martinez and Rafael Devers have combined for 158 hits and 106 RBI. Nathan Eovaldi gets the ball, and he is 7-4 with a 3.90 ERA and 78 strikeouts this season. Eovaldi is 2-2 with a 3.30 ERA and 38 strikeouts in his career against the Yankees.

The Yankees are 63-29 in their last 92 Saturday games and 7-3 in their last 10 overall. The Red Sox are 6-1 in their last 7 Saturday games and 5-2 in their last 7 games on grass. The over is 6-2 in Yankees last 8 road games. The under is 3-0-1 in Red Sox last 4 on grass. The Yankees are 5-2 in the last 7 meetings in Boston.

The Yankees are having a solid week and look to be turning things around, but I don’t trust Montgomery on the road. The Red Sox have been the more consistent team this season and Eovaldi has allowed three earned runs in his last 10.2 innings. This rivalry can always go either way, but I lean Red Sox at home with the cheap price.
