Yankees vs Red Sox Prediction
The Yankees should be favored at home with the way the Red Sox have been riding the struggle bus over the last week. However, as good as Yarbrough has pitched this season, he hasn’t had much success against the Red Sox in his career, which dates back to his days with the Rays. Crochet has been fantastic this season, which includes allowing 32 hits and eight runs in his last 38 innings. In 48 road innings, Crochet has a 1.69 ERA and .181 allowed batting average. This feels like a spot where the Red Sox can stop the bleeding a bit and get a nice feel-good win over their rival. I’ll side with the Red Sox on Saturday night.
