New York Skidding Into Series at Bitter Rival Boston

AL East Foes Struggling

The New York Yankees were flying high coming in the second half of the season but now they’re fading. They’ve lost two straight and eight out of their last 10 overall.

Now, they go up against the Boston Red Sox, their bitter rival in the American League East who occupy last place in the division. Boston has lost six out of eight games and has been brutal.

Which of these two slumping squads is the best bet on the MLB betting odds in this one?

Let’s check the latest MLB odds, stats, injury reports, and MLB lines, for Yankees vs Red Sox. We’ve plenty of MLB spreads for you to consider.

German Goes for Yankees

The New York Yankees are going to be rolling out Domingo German, who is 1-2 with a 5.09 ERA. If you bet online, don’t put a ton of stock in his numbers, though. He’s only pitched 17.2 innings, which is a small sample size.

We last saw him on the mound on Saturday when he pitched five innings and allowed one run in a 1-0 defeat to the St. Louis Cardinals.

The good news is the Red Sox don’t do particularly well against German. They bat just .241 against him as Rafael Devers is at .111 with just two hits in 18 at-bats while J.D. Martinez is 1-for-15.

The Red Sox are batting just .236 as a team over their last 10 games, which makes it tough to back them on the MLB odds.

Eovaldi Gets Nod for Red Sox

The Boston Red Sox are sending out Nathan Eovaldi, who is 5-3 behind a 4.23 ERA. Eovaldi has seen Boston lose three out of the past four outings.

During that stretch, he’s pitched 21 innings and has allowed 20 runs. The Red Sox need him to get himself back on track for this game against the hard-hitting Yankees.

Eovaldi hasn’t been that great at home. He’s 1-3 with a 6.81 ERA at Fenway Park, but is undefeated at 4-0 with a 2.64 ERA on the road.

Yankees vs Red Sox Prediction

The Yankees are listed as the favorites to win in the sportsbook. New York has had some trouble lately, batting just .233 in the last 10.

The full season numbers still look good as they’re leading the league in home runs with 190 – 20 more than the second-place Atlanta Braves.

However, these bats have cooled of late. While rolling with the Yankees seems like the better choice, under seems like the best option given that both teams aren’t doing much offensively.
