The Yankees begin a stretch without the injured Aaron Judge against the Boston Red Sox in the Bronx. NewYork is in a battle with the Tampa Bay Rays for the AL East lead, and missing the slugger and MVP will hurt. The Red Sox are having a terrible season, last in the division.
They will go with Sonny Gray against Ryan Weathers on Friday at Yankee Stadium. MLB odds have the road team at +126 with the Yankees at -140. The total is set at 8 runs. This sets up as a nice play for the Red Sox. As bad as they have been is as good as Gray has been. He is 6-1 with a 3.06 ERA. Weathers is 2-3 with a 3.52 ERA.
He is a great play in the prop market for strikeouts. In 64 innings thus far, Weathers has 75 strikeouts. Red Sox batters could be waving at many pitches.
- Pick: Red Sox +126 moneyline
