Red Sox vs Yankees Prediction
The Red Sox are piling up the wins, and there’s value with them in the big underdog role at home against a rival. Bello is a young, promising pitcher who is capable of putting together a strong performance. However, Fried is arguably the best pitcher in baseball right now, with a 1.84 ERA and 0.93 WHIP. Fried is allowing a .198 batting average on the season. It’s hard enough to step in front of the Yankees with their offensive potential, but it’s even tougher when they have a strong CY Young candidate on the bump. Give me the Yankees and the RL for max betting value.
