NY Yankees vs Boston Red Sox Prediction
I’ll stay with the Red Sox. Gil has struggled mightily over his last three starts, so Boston should have some early opportunities. In that trio Gil is 0-3 with 16 earned runs in 9.1 innings total. As for Crawford, he’s 2-1 in his last three with seven earned in 18.1 frames combined.
On Saturday the Red Sox had a 4-3 lead going into the bottom of the fifth but lost the handle from there. Boston could only get one hit off the Yankees pen, a 4.2-inning effort that deserves quite a bit of credit after a shaky Cole outing. This one seems like a coin flip but Boston should have a good shot at taking the series Sunday.
