Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees Prediction
Tanner Houck has been solid this season and should give the Red Sox a chance, but Clarke Schmidt has been even better and more consistent. Houck hasn't pitched in over a week after being pushed to the back of the rotation, and that can't help his confidence. The New York Yankees are simply playing the better baseball at the moment and are playing for the best record in the AL. The price isn't too crazy. Give me the Yankees for another win over the Red Sox.
