New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox Prediction
In my opinion, this matchup favors the New York Yankees. Why? New York starting pitcher Cam Schlittler has amassed an 8-3 record, a 1.71 ERA (2nd in MLB) and a whopping 109 strikeouts which ranks sixth in Major League Baseball, while Boston hurler Connelly Early has been far more inconsistent which is a concern facing a strong Yankees lineup that has played good baseball on the road. With that said, I am backing the New York Yankees on the moneyline in this game.Hans Geevers's Pick: New York Yankees ML
