New York Yankees vs Boston Red Sox Prediction 

New York comes into this series as one of the best teams in the MLB and they are 27-12 on the road this year. Boston is 16-19 at home and their pitching staff has really struggled after a strong start to the year. The Yankees do have the advantage with their starting pitching, as Luis Gil has been one of the top starting pitchers in the MLB. On the other hand, Bello has been pretty bad recently and I can’t trust him against this lineup. My New York Yankees vs Boston Red Sox prediction is for the Yankees to win by at least two runs.
