Red Sox vs Yankees Prediction
New York picked up a huge win to start this series on Friday night, which put them 1.5 games ahead of Boston in the AL East standings. The Yankees are 38-34 on the road this year, while the Red Sox are 44-29 at home. Boston will look to turn things around with Bello on the mound, who has allowed three earned runs in each of his last two starts. New York is going with Fried, who has allowed one earned run or fewer in three of his last four starts. I think we are going to see another lower scoring game with these pitchers, so take the under here.
