NY Yankees vs Boston Red Sox Prediction
I’ll stick with the Yankees. I could probably go either way, though. Cole has been pretty good over his last two starts. In that pair he’s a tepid 1-1 but has just one earned run in 12.0 total frames. As for Bello, he’s coming off 5.1 innings and two earned in a win over the Orioles.
On Friday the Yankees had one explosive inning in the seventh but otherwise there wasn’t much happening on offense. I’d like to see New York’s bats working more consistently Saturday but they should have a good shot at another W.
