Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees Prediction 

The Yankees have really struggled over the last couple of weeks and they are now second in the AL East behind Baltimore. New York is still 24-18 at home this year, but their loss on Friday was a bad one. Boston is 28-16 on the road and they have been one of the hottest teams in the MLB since May. The Red Sox are starting Winckowski, who has been very solid recently, while Gerrit Cole has been decent in limited work for New York. I do think this pitching matchup is pretty solid and I think we are in for another lower scoring game. My Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees prediction is for this game to go under the total.
