Starting Pitchers

The Red Sox are expected to start Connelly Early, who is 5-3 with a 3.26 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 66.1 innings pitched, 55 hits allowed, 63 strikeouts, 23 walks, and 11 home runs allowed. The Yankees are expected to counter with Cam Schlittler, who is 7-3 with a 1.89 ERA, 0.86 WHIP, 76.1 innings pitched, 53 hits allowed, 84 strikeouts, 13 walks, and 4 home runs allowed.

Boston Looks to Build on a Road Win

The Red Sox enter this matchup at 27-35 overall and 17-14 on the road. Boston recently won over New York 5-3, lost to Baltimore 8-2, won over Baltimore 8-1, lost to Baltimore 4-2, and won over Cleveland 9-4. That gives Boston three wins in its last five games.

Boston is batting .247 with 248 runs, 518 hits, 48 home runs, a .318 on-base percentage, and a .380 slugging percentage. On the pitching side, the Red Sox carry a 3.83 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, 196 walks, 525 strikeouts, and a .242 opponent batting average.

The biggest issue for Boston is power production compared with New York. The Red Sox have 48 home runs, while the Yankees have 91. Boston has shown it can win on the road, but the overall run gap is a concern.

New York Has the Stronger Overall Profile

The Yankees come in at 37-26 overall and 18-12 at home. New York recently lost to Boston 5-3, won over Cleveland 2-1, lost to Cleveland 5-4, lost to Cleveland 9-4, and won over Athletics 13-8. The Yankees have two wins in their last five games.

New York is batting .241 with 318 runs, 500 hits, 91 home runs, a .329 on-base percentage, and a .432 slugging percentage. The Yankees also have a 3.30 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, 191 walks, 539 strikeouts, and a .223 opponent batting average.

The Yankees’ biggest edge is run production and pitching prevention together. New York has scored 318 runs while allowing opponents to hit just .223, giving the home team the stronger statistical profile.

New York gets the pick because the Yankees have the better overall record, stronger home record, better matchup predictor percentage, more runs scored, more home runs, lower ERA, lower WHIP, and lower opponent batting average. Boston won the most recent meeting, but the full set of provided numbers favors New York.

Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees Total Pick

• Pick: Over

Take the over if the total is set at 8.5. I lean over because New York has scored 318 runs and hit 91 home runs, while Boston has recently scored five, eight, and nine runs in three of its last five games. The Yankees’ power profile is the biggest reason I would look toward the over.
