Red Sox at Yankees picks and predictions
Prediction
Yankees 4, Red Sox 3
Money line
Boston is a slight lean, but there isn’t enough earning potential to make it worth a play. PASS.
Run line/Against the spread
Both teams play in more 1-run games than average.
Hill makes this start on 5 days’ rest, which he has leveraged well over the latter years of his career (3.92 ERA on 5-day rest this season). The veteran lefty has a history of fine finishes in September.
TAKE BOSTON +1.5 (-117).
Over/Under
Both starting pitchers have indicators more likable than their surface stats. On a cooled-off autumn evening at Yankee Stadium, there is value in backing the UNDER 7.5 (-112).
