The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox face off on Saturday in an MLB showdown at Fenway Park. On Friday it was the Red Sox that were able to beat the Yankees in extra innings. 

The Yankees still sit with a 71-42 record overall, but they haven’t been as dominant the last couple of weeks. On Friday the Yankees had plenty of chances to score, but they couldn’t get the runners across the plate, and they were walked off. The Yankees offense overall is averaging 5.25 runs per game and the offense needs to get going in this game. Aaron Judge’s bat is one that won’t cool off and he hit another home run on Friday. 

On the other side of this matchup is the Red Sox who sit with a 56-58 record overall, and it doesn’t seem to matter how bad they are, they are still competitive against the Yankees. The Red Sox have won two games in a row. Overall the Red Sox are averaging 4.48 runs per game which is 12th in the league. Rafael Devers has hit 24 home runs and driven in 60 RBIs. 

On the mound for the Yankees is Frankie Montas who sits with a 4-9 record and an ERA of 3.59. In his last start against the St. Louis Cardinals, he went three innings giving up five hits and six runs.

On the mound for the Red Sox is Kutter Crawford who sits with a 3-4 record and an ERA of 4.30. In his last start against the Kansa City Royals, he went five innings giving up five hits and five runs. 

The Yankees are 1-7 in their last eight games overall. The over is 6-1 in the Yankees last seven games against a team with a losing record. The over is 4-1 in the Red Sox’s last five games against a right-handed starter. 

Friday was lower scoring, but this game is going to be a whole lot different. Montas gave up six runs in his last start, while Crawford is coming off a start where gave up five runs. Look for both starting pitchers to really struggle in this game and that will be the difference as this game goes over the total. Back the over. 

The pick in this article is the opinion of the writer, not a PickDawgz site consensus.
