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

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

The New York Yankees (61-23) and Boston Red Sox (45-39) continue a 4-game AL East rivalry series at Fenway Park. Saturday’s game is scheduled for a first pitch at 7:10 p.m. ET. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Yankees vs. Red Sox odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: New York leads 4-1.

The Yanks have found their groove on offense after losing it for a week or so. From June 28-July 5, New York registered a pedestrian .674 OPS. Over the last 3 nights, the Bronx Bombers have been just that. They’ve tallied 34 runs on the strength of a 1.167 OPS.

The Red Sox went a robust 28-9 from May 18-June 26 but are just 3-8 in their last 11 games. Boston totes a 4-game losing streak into Saturday’s Fenway affair under the lights.

Yankees at Red Sox projected starters

LHP Jordan Montgomery vs. RHP Kutter Crawford

Montgomery (3-2, 3.19 ERA) owns a 1.03 WHIP, 1.7 BB/9 and 7.2 K/9 through 90 1/3 IP across 16 starts.

  • Clocked a 2.16 ERA across 3 Fenway starts a year ago.
  • Struggled in his last 2 starts in June but allowed just 1 run in 5 IP in his last start (July 3 at Cleveland).

Crawford (2-2, 5.04 ERA) has made 2 starts and 9 relief appearances. He has a 1.48 WHIP, 4.7 BB/9 and 11.5 K/9 through 25 IP.

  • Pitched a combined 2 IP in relief against New York April 8 and April 10: allowed 1 unearned run on 5 hits.
  • Went 5 1/3 scoreless relief innings vs. Tampa Bay Monday: struck out 8 against 1 BB and allowed just 2 hits.

Yankees at Red Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 5, Red Sox 4

Money line

The Yankees are 22-8 over its last 30 games. Boston is 14-6 against LHP, but the Yankees are too deep to fade. NYY has the ‘pen to win close ones as evidenced by the 18-7 record in 1-run games. It’s risky, but we could see taking RED SOX FIRST 5 INNINGS (+155) with their success against lefties. There just isn’t enough confidence in them winning it to take the ML.

Run line/Against the spread

Boston was dialed in Friday against LHP Nestor Cortes, and Montgomery may not be well served by being a second lefty hurler to face the Sox in as many days.

BACK BOSTON +1.5 (-117).

Over/Under

This series has a systemic lean on the Over — which is 2-0 the last 2 nights — but the tag here leaves much to be desired, and a cooler, breeze-in night at Fenway with key bullpen arms available mixes in too much Under risk.

STEER CLEAR.

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

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

The New York Yankees (60-23) and Boston Red Sox (45-38) continue a 4-game AL East rivalry series at Fenway Park. Friday’s game is ticketed for a 7:10 p.m. ET first pitch. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook‘s lines around the Yankees vs. Red Sox odds with MLB picks and predictions.

Season series: New York leads 3-1.

The Yankees took Thursday’s game 6-5. The Yanks are rounding out a road trip which opened with stops in Houston, Cleveland and Pittsburgh. New York owns an MLB-best .650 winning percentage away from home.

The Red Sox went a sparkling 28-9 from May 18-June 26, but are just 3-7 in their last 10 games. Over the 10 games, Boston’s power has been down a bit (.372 slugging percentage), but the Red Sox have also hit just .174 (16-of-92) with runners in scoring position over that stretch.

Yankees at Red Sox projected starters

LHP Nestor Cortes vs. RHP Connor Seabold

Cortes (7-3, 2.44 ERA) has a 0.95 WHIP, 2.0 BB/9 and 9.6 K/9 through 85 IP in 15 starts.

  • Has had a few stumbles of late and owns a 4.68 ERA in his last 5 starts.
  • Went 6 innings in his last start Saturday at Cleveland, his most in a single game since June 2.

Seabold is a rookie right-hander tabbed for his 3rd start of the season. He has a 2.08 WHIP, 3.1 BB/9 and 11.4 K/9 in 8 2/3 IP.

  • Rocked in his first MLB start in 2022 (7 R, 9 H in 4 2/3 IP June 27 at Toronto), but rallied with a fair effort at Wrigley Field Sunday (4 IP, 6 H, 1 R vs. Cubs).
  • Friday’s game will mark his Fenway debut.
  • Has pitched 51 2/3 IP at Triple-A this season: 2.09 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, with 14 BB and 51K.

Yankees at Red Sox picks and predictions

Prediction

Yankees 6, Red Sox 5

Money line

Seabold is stepping in for RHP Michael Wacha, who is out with arm trouble. But the key injuries may be Yankees OF Aaron Judge (lower body) and 1B Anthony Rizzo (back), who are both listed as questionable for Friday.

The Red Sox are a lean and an actionable play at +130 or better. MOVE ALONG otherwise.

Run line/Against the spread

With some fade lean against Cortes and the Yankee bullpen and an acknowledgement that Seabold has some impressive, bat-missing stuff, BACK BOSTON +1.5 (-130).

Over/Under

The biggest lean in any quadrant (both clubs’ batting, pitching/defense) is a fade of the Yanks’ run prevention. On a warm night with a batter’s breeze at Fenway Park (Cortes is a fly-ball hurler and, by early indications, Seabold is too), BACK THE OVER 9.5 (-115).

El tiro de Alex Lange de Detroit era imposible de batear, los fans quedaron asombrados

En teoría, ser un jugador de beisbol profesional suena como algo muy divertido, pero luego, cuando ves lo que algunos de estos pitchers pueden hacer con una pelota, es más fácil disfrutar de la vida aburrida de nosotros los que no jugamos beisbol.

Vean esto, por ejemplo. Joey Gallo, el jardinero derecho de los Yankees caminó hacia el plato para enfrentarse a Alex Lange de Detroit, y lo único que pudo hacer fue quedarse parado en la caja de bateo preguntándose cómo diablos el relevista le había hecho un lanzamiento con una cantidad ridícula de movimientos antes de que, básicamente, llegara al corazón de la zona de strike.

Esto no debió ser un momento divertido para Gallo:

Traducción: Alex Lange, una recta imposible de dos costuras para poncharlo a 98 mph.
22 pulgadas de carrera.

 

Es decir, ¿¡qué se supone que hagas con ese lanzamiento?! A nosotros se nos hizo que parecía una pelota Wiffle pero con muchas chispitas de magia.

Los fans de MLB quedaron asombrados, y con toda razón.

Traducción: ¡Wow! No hay nada que puedas hacer con eso. 

 

Traducción: Bueno, esto explica por qué Gallo ni siquiera movió el bate en este lanzamiento.

 

Traducción: Esto de aquí es arte pura, arte horrible.

 

Traducción: No tengo la menor idea de cómo alguien contestaría este tiro… y básicamente llegó justo al centro.

 

Traducción: Movimiento de pelota Wiffle.

 

Traducción: Me duele el pulgar de solo ver esto.

Patético, así el manager de los Rangers, el último de los managers de la MLB en portarse como niño chiquito

No sé si lo han notado, pero algunos managers de la MLB realmente pueden comportarse como niños chiquitos cuando las cosas no salen como ellos querían. No sé si es porque son hombres hechos y derechos utilizando uniformes que realmente no deberían …

No sé si lo han notado, pero algunos managers de la MLB realmente pueden comportarse como niños chiquitos cuando las cosas no salen como ellos querían. No sé si es porque son hombres hechos y derechos utilizando uniformes que realmente no deberían usar, pero algo está haciendo que , últimamente, algunos managers se comporten verdaderamente inmaduros.

El mes pasado, el skipper de los Padres, Bob Melvin, se enojó mucho cuando los Giants siguieron jugando beisbol de la forma correcta a pesar de que llevaban una gran ventaja. Melvin se molestó porque estaban robándose las bases y bateando con toques de bola en un partido que se seguía jugando, algo que la verdad fue completamente infantil y muy tonto enojarse por eso. Si no puedes frenar al otro equipo de que te siga ganando es culpa tuya y de tu equipo. No les toca a ellos dejar de intentarlo simplemente porque se sintieron mal por ti, no puedes ser así de bobo, Sr. Melvin. Te viste muy mal.

Hablando de verse mal….

Ayer tuvimos a otro manager actuando de forma infantil, pero en esta ocasión fue una completa idiotez. El manager de los Rangers Chris Woodward estaba súper dolido después de que su equipo perdiera contra los Yankees y culpó al homerun de salida de Gleyber Torres. Él dijo: “Esa es algo fácil de hacer en el 99% de los estadios de beisbol… tuvo la suerte de conectarlo en un estadio de ligas pequeñas y de mandarlo al campo derecho”.

¿¡Puede ser más triste!?

No puedes ser un entrenador profesional de un deporte profesional y decir cosas patéticas después de perder. Simplemente no se puede. Todo el respeto que pierdes por tan solo decir algo como esto es apabullante. ¿Echarle la culpa al tamaño de un estadio por un homerun? ¡Fuera de aquí con esas cosas!

Ah, e internet fue muy rápido en resaltar algo: el homerun de Gleyber viajó 369 pies y hubiera sido un homerun en 26 de los 30 estadios de la MLB.

Así que nada de esto te hizo quedar bien, Sr. Woodward.

No debería sorprendernos que Woodward sea tan bobo, sobre todo porque recuerden que el año pasado se enojó cuando la estrella de los Padres, Fernando Tatis Jr., tuvo la osadía de anotar un grand slam en un picheo 3-0 cuando San Diego iba ganando 14-3 en la octava entrada.

A nadie sorprendió que Woodward, después de ese homerun, sacara a colación las “reglas no escritas” porque obvio lo tenía que hacer.

Entendemos que perder partidos puede ser difícil, especialmente cuando pierdes uno con un homerun de salida, pero hay mejores formas de manejar esas derrotas que lloriquear sobre las dimensiones del campo.

Eso es simplemente patético.

Y vergonzoso.
