Red Sox at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 5, Red Sox 3

Moneyline

PASS.

The Yankees are too expensive to take on the moneyline here, but are worthy of a play on the run line.

Run line/Against the spread

BET YANKEES -1.5 (+115).

The Red Sox have both lost and failed to cover in Crawford’s last 5 starts. They’ll also be going against a pitcher who has been far better at home than on the road this season. Boston is the fifth-worst team at covering after a win as well at just 32-42 ATS.

The Yankees are 6-3 ATS in Rodon’s last 9 starts. They are 56-69 ATS as a favorite as well which sits in the top half of the league. Considering those trends, take YANKEES -1.5 (+115).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 8.5 (+100).

The Red Sox have gone Under in 4 of their last 5 games and are 0-4-1 O/U in that span. They are 4-9-1 O/U in their last 14. Boston has allowed just 11 runs over its last 4 games as well.

The Yankees are also 0-4-1 O/U in their last 5 and have scored a total of 8 runs in their last 3 games. New York is 2-4 O/U in Rodon’s last 6 starts. Take UNDER 8.5 (+100).

The Red Sox are 1-3 over their last 4 games and sit 3rd in the AL East. Boston has fallen off a cliff as of late, winning just 4 of its last 13 games. It is 39-34 on the road and 69-79 against the spread (ATS).

Red Sox at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 4, Red Sox 3

Moneyline

PASS.

The Yankees are the better team and have the better starting option on the mound but are too expensive to take on the moneyline here. Similarly, Boston is better played on the spread.

Run line/Against the spread

BET RED SOX +1.5 (-135).

The Red Sox are 6-2 straight up in Bello’s last 8 starts. He has already beaten the Yankees this season as well. Boston has scored well recently too, tallying at least 4 in 2 of its last 3 games. It has covered in 3 straight and in 4 of its last 5.

The Yankees are typically a favorite and have won 3 straight games but have failed to cover in all 3, winning each by 1 run. New York is 0-4 ATS in its last 4 games. It is 1-2 in Cole’s last 3 starts as well.

Take RED SOX +1.5 (-135).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 8.5 (-115).

The Yankees are 1-6-1 O/U in their last 8 games, allowing 3 or fewer in 2 of their last 3 and in 6 of their last 9. They have gone Under in 4 of Cole’s last 5 starts.

The Red Sox have gone Under in 3 of their last 4 and are 1-4-1 O/U in their last 6. Boston has limited opponents to 3 or fewer in 3 of its last 5. Take UNDER 8.5 (-115).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Boston Red Sox (74-73) and New York Yankees (85-62) play the 2nd  game of their 4-game series Friday (Apple+). First pitch from Yankee Stadium is slated for 7:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s MLB odds around the Red Sox vs. Yankees odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Tied 5-5

The Red Sox dropped a tough one to the Yankees, 2-1 in 10 innings Thursday night. RHP Cooper Criswell pitched solid, allowing just 1 run in 5 1/3 IP. Boston kept CF Aaron Judge‘s homerless streak going, now at a career-high 16 games. But in the 10th, reliever Josh Winckowski gave up a walk-off single to RF Juan Soto.

Yankees SS Gleyber Torres had a HR and LHP Nestor Cortes was sharp, striking out 9 in 5 IP.

Red Sox at Yankees projected starters

RHP Tanner Houck vs. RHP Clarke Schmidt

Houck (8-10, 3.24 ERA) makes his 29th start. He has a 1.17 WHIP, 2.5 BB/9 and 8.0 K/9 in 169 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 5 IP, 4 ER, 5 H, 1 BB, 7 K in 8-3 road loss against New York Mets Sept. 4

  • Last start: No-decision, 4 2/3 IP, 0 ER, 4 H, 1 BB, 2 K in 2-0 victory at the Chicago Cubs Saturday

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Red Sox at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 4, Red Sox 2

Moneyline

PASS.

I’ve got the Yankees (-145) continuing their momentum into the Friday night matchup, but I’ll look to the run line with the better odds.

Run line/Against the spread

BET YANKEES -1.5 (+145).

You should take the Yankees on the run line Friday night. They’ve been hot lately, winning 3 of their last 4, including their last 3 against the Red Sox. Thursday’s 2-1 win was the 1st time they beat Boston by a single run this season; they usually win with more breathing room.

Both starters are coming off injuries, but New York’s bats have been heating up, hitting 10 points better since the All-Star break. Plus, with a 40-32 home record and a need to protect their 2-game lead over the Baltimore Orioles in the AL East, the Yankees are primed to cover the run line.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 8.5 (-110).

Even though the Over has hit in 6 of their last 10 matchups, both teams are leaning toward the Under right now. The Red Sox have gone Under in 4 of their last 5 games, and the Yankees have stayed Under in 6 of their last 7 games. Plus, the Under has hit in 4 of Schmidt’s last 5 starts. With both teams struggling to score big, the Under 8.5 runs looks like a solid pick.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Red Sox at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 4, Red Sox 3

Moneyline

PASS.

There’s not a lot of value here.

The Yankees are just a touch too expensive to take here, especially with Criswell, who has been solid this season, starting for Boston. Similarly, Boston is better played as a run-line underdog.

Run line/Against the spread

BET RED SOX +1.5 (-145).

The Yankees rank in the bottom half of the league in covering at home. They are just 32-39 ATS at home. Boston, at 40-31, sits in the top half of the league in covering on the road. The Red Sox have covered in 4 of their last 6 games.

New York is 4-2 over its last 6 yet 3-3 ATS in those games. It has had 2 1-score games in its last 4. Boston is 14-9 in games which Criswell has started as well. Take RED SOX +1.5 (-145) for a small unit given the juice put on the bet.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 9 (-120).

The Yankees have gone Under in 2 straight games and in 5 of their last 6. They have allowed 0 runs in 2 of their last 6 and 3 or fewer in 4 of those 6.

Similarly, Boston has gone Under in 3 of its last 4 and in 4 of its last 6. The Red Sox have been streaky offensively but have scored 3 or fewer in 5 of its last 8. Take UNDER 9 (-120).

Boston Red Sox at New York Yankees odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Boston Red Sox at New York Yankees odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Boston Red Sox (48-40) take on the New York Yankees (55-36) on Sunday Night Baseball in the finale of a 3-game set at Yankee Stadium at 7:10 p.m. ET (ESPN). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Red Sox vs. Yankees odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Red Sox lead 3-2

The Red Sox snapped a 5-game winning streak with a 14-4 loss to the Yanks Saturday. 3B Rafael Devers was one of the few productive Red Sox hitters with 2 of the clubs’ 4 hits, including his 19th homer of the season. After a 28-29 start, the Red Sox are 20-11 over their last 31 games.

1B Ben Rice became the first Yankees rookie to hit 3 homers in a game Saturday. He had 7 RBIs in a game to remember. The win snapped a 4-game losing streak for the Yanks, who are 2nd in the majors with 5.10 runs per game. Their pitching has been supporting them, too, with the 6th-best ERA at 3.59.

Red Sox at Yankees projected starters

RHP Kutter Crawford vs. RHP Luis Gil

Crawford (4-7, 3.47 ERA) makes his 18th start. He has a 1.10 WHIP, 2.6 BB/9 and 9.3 K/9 through 98 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: Win, 6 IP, 1 ER, 3 H, 0 BB, 7 K in 8-3 victory at Miami Marlins Tuesday
  • Last 5 starts vs. Yankees: 2-0, 2.60 ERA (27 2/3 IP, 8 ER), 0.90 WHIP, 32 K

Gil (9-4, 3.41 ERA) makes his 18th start. He has a 1.13 WHIP, 4.8 BB/9 and 10.2 K/9 through 89 2/3 innings.

  • Last start: Loss, 4 IP, 4 ER, 2 H, 3 BB, 3 K in 5-4 home setback vs. Cincinnati Reds Tuesday

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Red Sox at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Red Sox 6, Yankees 4

Moneyline

I like the Red Sox here because Crawford has been more reliable than Gil. Crawford is 2-1 with a 3.44 ERA (18 1/3 IP, 7 ER) in his last 3 starts, and he has 7+ K’s in 4 straight.

Meanwhile Gil has been all over the place with 2+ walks in 4 straight and 6 of 7.

For the value, BET RED SOX (+115).

Run line/Against the spread

As mentioned, Crawford has 7+ K’s in 4 straight starts. He has 7+ K’s in his last 2 starts against the Yankees as well.

TAKE KUTTER CRAWFORD OVER 5.5 K’S (+105) at plus-money!

Over/Under

Both teams are 8-1-1 O/U over their last 10. The Over is 5-3-2 in the last 10 meetings as well. It’s slated to be an 85-degree evening with a light, 5-mph breeze from right to left.

With the way these teams are mashing the ball, BACK OVER 8.5 (-115).

Boston Red Sox at New York Yankees odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Boston Red Sox at New York Yankees odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Boston Red Sox (48-39) and New York Yankees (54-36) meet for game 2 of a 3-game series Saturday. First pitch from Yankee Stadium is set for 1:05 p.m. ET (FS1). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Red Sox vs. Yankees odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Boston leads 3-1

Boston rallied for a 5-3 victory in 10 innings in Friday’s opener, covering as a +122 road underdog. DH Masataka Yoshida hit a game-tying, 2-run HR with 2 outs in the top of the 9th to stun the Yankee Stadium crowd. After a New York 1-2-3 bottom of the 9th, Boston SS Ceddanne Rafaela led off the 10th with a 2-run blast — remember each team gets a runner on 2nd in extra innings.

Yankees RF Juan Soto opened the bottom of the 10th with a single, moving the “extra-inning” runner to 3rd, but Red Sox closer Kenley Jansen retired the next 3 batters to finish off Boston’s come-from-behind victory and its 5th straight win. Meanwhile, New York suffered its 4th consecutive loss — which all occurred at home.

While it wasn’t really a bad beat since the Over/Under (8) pushed, it was a tough pill to swallow for Under bettors who were 1 out away from cashing a winning ticket.

Red Sox at Yankees projected starters

RHP Josh Winckowski vs. RHP Gerrit Cole

Winckowski (2-1, 2.80 ERA) makes his 5th start and 15th appearance. He has a 1.39 WHIP, 3.1 BB/9 and 7.1 K/9 through 35 1/3 innings.

  • Last start: Win, 5 IP, 0 ER, 4 H, 0 BB, 1 K in 4-1 home victory vs. San Diego Padres Sunday
  • Career vs. Yankees: 0-2, 6.52 ERA (9 2/3 IP, 7 ER), 9 H, 8 BB, 5 K across 2 starts and 3 relief appearances

Red Sox at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Red Sox 6, Yankees 4

Moneyline

PASS.

I like the Red Sox (+150) to cover with an outright win as underdogs. However, with Cole on the mound for the Yankees — even though he lost his last 2 outings vs. Boston — I prefer to play the Red Sox run line below.

Run line/Against the spread

BET RED SOX +1.5 (-145).

Boston has won 3 straight vs. New York and enters as the hotter team, being 7-3 in its last 10 overall games. The Yankees are 2-8 in their last 10.

Plus, the Red Sox are also 5-0 in their last 5 visits to the Bronx — and 6-1 in their last 7 there.

I would completely understand if you prefer Boston’s +150 moneyline. My suggestion is just don’t bet more than 1½ units between the 2 options — Boston’s ML and Boston’s RL.

Over/Under

BET OVER 9 (-110).

The Over is 3-0-1 Boston’s last 4 games and is 8-1-1 in its last 10. The Over is also 8-1-1 in the Yankees’ last 10 outings and is 3-0-2 in the last 5 Boston-New York matchups.

Let’s ride that Over train — OVER 9 (-110) is the way to go.

Boston Red Sox at New York Yankees odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Boston Red Sox at New York Yankees odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Boston Red Sox (47-39) and New York Yankees (54-35) open a 3-game series Friday. First pitch from Yankee Stadium is set for 7:05 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Red Sox vs. Yankees odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Boston leads 2-1

Boston came away with the 6-5 win in 12 innings over the Miami Marlins Thursday while covering as a -150 road favorite. Boston scored 2 runs in both the 11th and 12th innings to pick up their 4th consecutive win.

New York lost 8-4 vs. the Cincinnati Reds Thursday while failing to cover as a -170 home favorite. The Yankees were swept by the Reds, and they have failed to eclipse the 4-run mark in each of their last 6 losses.

Red Sox at Yankees projected starters

RHP Tanner Houck vs. LHP Nestor Cortes

Houck (7-6, 2.67 ERA) makes his 18th start. He has a 1.02 WHIP, 1.6 BB/9 and 8.8 K/9 in 107 2/3 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 4 1/3 IP, 7 ER, 9 H, 1 BB, 4 K in an 11-1 loss vs. San Diego Padres Saturday
  • Career vs. Yankees: 3-2, 2.06 ERA (43 2/3 IP, 10 ER), 29 H, 22 BB, 40 K in 12 appearances (7 starts)

Cortes (4-7, 3.51 ERA) makes his 19th start. He has a 1.10 WHIP, 1.6 BB/9 and 8.4 K/9 in 105 IP.

  • Last start: Loss, 4 1/3 IP, 3 ER, 7 H, 1 BB, 5 K in a 9-3 loss at Toronto Blue Jays Saturday
  • Career vs. Boston: 2-0, 5.59 ERA (29 IP, 18 ER), 30 H, 10 BB, 34 K in 10 appearances (4 starts)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Red Sox at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Red Sox 7, Yankees 4

Moneyline

LEAN RED SOX (+115).

Boston is 4-0 in both its last 4 games overall and its last 4 road games. They are also 7-3 in the last 10 games overall. Meanwhile, the Yankees have dropped 3 straight at home and are only 2-8 in their last 10 games.

Boston is also 6-4 in its last 10 meetings with. New York and has won each of its last 3 meetings vs. the Yankees in New York.

This is only a lean because the Yankees are the better team.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

I like the Red Sox to cover here as the Yankees enter on a cold streak, but they are not worth the risk of betting on as +1.5 (-175) underdogs. If you like the Red Sox to win, bet them straight up.

If you are a fan of prop bets, then I’d advise you BET OVER 0.5 RBI (+110) for Yankees OF Aaron Judge. He’s almost averaging an RBI a game, leading MLB with 83 RBIs in 87 games and leading the majors with 32 HRs.

Over/Under

BET OVER 8 (-115).

The Over has hit in each of Boston’s last 3 games and is 8-2 in its last 10. For New York, the Over is 2-1 in its last 3 home games and 8-2 in its last 10 overall. The Over has also hit in each of the last 2 Boston-New York matchups, being 6-3-1 in the last 10 meetings.

Boston Red Sox at New York Yankees odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Boston Red Sox at New York Yankees odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The New York Yankees (60-63) welcome the Boston Red Sox (65-58) to Yankee Stadium Sunday. First pitch is set for 1:35 p.m. ET (MLB Network). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Red Sox vs. Yankees odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Boston leads 7-1

The Red Sox have been dominant in the rivalry this season, and they have won the 1st 2 games of the 3-game series ending Sunday. They won 8-3 Friday and 8-1 Saturday and are 7-3 in its last 10 games. Boston is 30-30 on the road.

The Yankees sit last in the AL East and are 16 games behind the Baltimore Orioles. They have won just 2 of their last 10 games and are 35-30 at home this season.

Red Sox at Yankees projected starters

RHP Josh Winckowski vs. RHP Clarke Schmidt

Winskowski (3-1, 3.20 ERA) will make 1st start after 44 relief appearances this season. He has a 1.41 WHIP, 2.5 BB/9 and 7.9 K/9 in 64 2/3 innings.

  • Career vs. Yankees: 0-1, 7.56 ERA (7 1/3 IP, 6 ER), 8 H, 5 BB, 3 K in 3 appearances (1 start)
  • 2023 road stats: 0-0, 3.07 ERA in 29 1/3 IP in 19 appearances

Schmidt (8-7, 4.76 ERA) makes his 25th start. He has a 1.36 WHIP, 2.5 BB/9 and 8.7 K/9 in 117 1/3 innings.

  • Last start: Loss, 2 1/3 IP, 9 H, 8 ER, 2 BB, 3 K in a 11-3 road loss over the Atlanta Braves Monday
  • 2023 home stats: 3-5, 3.97 ERA in 65 2/3 IP in 14 appearances (13 starts)

  • Over/Under (O/U): 9 (O: +100 | U: -120)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Red Sox at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 4, Red Sox 3

Moneyline

BET YANKEES (-120).

The Red Sox are starting a reliever and will go to their bullpen early. Boston’s relievers rank 15th in the majors in ERA (4.07). The Red Sox haven’t swept a 3-game series since they beat the Athletics from July 7-9.

The Yankees have performed well lately with Schmidt on the mound, winning 5 of hislast 6 starts. At this value, take the Yankees to avoid the sweep.

Back YANKEES (-120).

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

The value isn’t here for either side. The Red Sox on the road should be able to keep the game close, but at +1.5 (-190), it is just too expensive to play.

Similarly, Boston has owned New York this season, and the home side isn’t worth betting on to win by multiple runs.

Play our free daily Pick’em Challenge and win! Play now!

Over/Under

LEAN UNDER 9 (-120).

The Red Sox have gone Over in the 1st 2 games of this series after 7 straight Unders. They have given up 4 or fewer runs in 4 of their last 5 games as well.

New York is 29-34-2 O/U at home this season, and it has also gone Under in 5 of Schmidt’s last 7 starts. New York is also 34-40-2 O/U as a favorite.

Take UNDER 9 (-120).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Boston Red Sox (64-58) and New York Yankees (60-62) meet Saturday for game 2 of a 3-game series. First pitch from Yankee Stadium is set for 1:05 p.m. ET (FS1). Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Red Sox vs. Yankees odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Red Sox lead 6-1

Boston won 8-3 as a -121 road favorite in Friday’s series opener. Boston was red-hot from the first pitch, scoring 7 of their 8 runs in the first 2 innings. SP Brayan Bello pitched 6 innings, allowing only 1 run on 6 hits and a walk, while striking out 4.

Friday’s win ended a 2-game losing streak for the Red Sox, who are 6-4 in their last 10 and 29-30 on the road. The Yankees, meanwhile, have lost 6 in a row, are 2-8 in their last 10 and 35-29 at home.

Red Sox at Yankees projected starters

RHP Kutter Crawford vs. RHP Gerrit Cole

Crawford (5-6, 3.80 ERA) makes his 16th start — and 24th appearance — of the season. He has a 1.13 WHIP, 2.2 BB/9 and 8.9 K/9 through 90 innings.

  • Last outing: No-decision, 4 2/3 IP, 2 ER, 3 H, 1 BB, 2 K in 6-3 home win vs. Detroit Tigers Sunday
  • Career vs. Yankees: 1-1, 2.08 ERA (13 IP, 3 ER), 11 H, 6 BB, 14 K across 4 appearances (2 starts) last season

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Red Sox at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Red Sox 4, Yankees 2

Moneyline

LEAN RED SOX (+140).

The Red Sox are much hotter than the Yankees and have owned them this season, including wins in the last 5 meetings.

It’s only a LEAN because of Cole. The Yankees ace has been dominating this season, but I’m not sure he’ll be enough for the Yankees to overcome their current cold streak vs. their rivals here.

BOSTON (+140) is worth a small wager.

Run line/Against the spread

BET RED SOX +1.5 (-145).

With how cold the Yankees are, I don’t see them winning by multiple runs even if they pull off a win here. So, it’s safe to bet on the Red Sox to cover.

The Yankees might be 6 wins over .500 at home, but they’re 3-5 in their last 8 home games. With New York’s recent struggles, Boston should be able to keep this game close even if they lose.

Divvy up 1½ units between the BOSTON ML (+140) and the BOSTON RL (-145).

Over/Under

BET UNDER 8 (-105).

The Under is 7-2 in Boston’s last 9. The Under is also 3-2 in each of Crawford and Cole’s last 5 starts. Plus, the Under is 6-2 in the last 8 New York-Boston matchups.

Boston Red Sox at New York Yankees odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Friday’s Boston Red Sox at New York Yankees odds and lines, with MLB expert picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

The Boston Red Sox (63-58) and New York Yankees (60-61) kick off a 3-game series Friday. First pitch from Yankee Stadium is set for 7:05 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Red Sox vs. Yankees odds and make our expert MLB picks and predictions for the best bets.

Season series: Red Sox lead 5-1

The Red Sox lost 10-7 as -172 road favorites Thursday vs. the Washington Nationals, losing the series 2-1 after winning the opener. The Red Sox are 6-4 in their last 10 games and 28-30 on the road.

New York lost 2-0 as a +176 road underdog Wednesday and were swept by the Atlanta Braves. They did not score in the last 2 games and were outscored 18-3 in the 3-game series. The Yankees have lost 5 straight games to fall  below .500. New York is 2-8 in the last 10 games and 35-28 at home.

Red Sox at Yankees projected starters

RHP Brayan Bello vs. LHP Nestor Cortes

Bello (8-7, 3.81 ERA) makes his 21st start. He has a 1.26 WHIP, 2.4 BB/9 and 7.6 K/9 in 113 1/3 innings.

  • Last outing: Loss, 4 2/3 IP, 4 ER, 9 H, 0 BB, 5 K in a 6-2 home loss Saturday vs. Detroit Tigers
  • Career vs. New York: 1-2, 1.44 ERA (25 IP, 4 ER), 19 H, 8 BB, 21 K through 4 starts

The Yankees did not officially name a starter, but Cortes (5-2, 4.97 ERA) is likely to make his 13th start. He has a 1.24 WHIP, 2.8 BB/9 and 9.5 K/9 in 63 1/3 innings.

  • Last outing: No-decision, 4 IP, 1 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 8 K in 3-1 win to Houston Astros on Aug. 5

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Red Sox at Yankees picks and predictions

Prediction

Red Sox 2, Yankees 1

Moneyline

LEAN RED SOX (-105).

The Red Sox are on a 4-game winning streak vs. the Yankees and are 2-1 in Bello’s last 3 starts vs. New York. The Yankees are only 1-5-2 in their last 8 series’ overall, combining for 14 losses during that stretch. Boston is also the hotter team going 6-4 in their last 10 vs. New York’s 2-8 record.

Run line/Against the spread

PASS.

I like the Yankees to cover here but at +1.5 (-190) the line is far too rich, bet on the moneyline and/or O/U instead.

Over/Under

BET UNDER 9 (-110). 

The Under is 8-2 in Boston’s last 10 games and 6-1 in the last 7 Boston-New York matchups. The Under is also 3-1 in Bello’s last 4 starts overall and 3-0 in his last 3 starts vs. New York.
