New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox Prediction

I’m on the Yankees here. I get why Crochet is getting the love here, as he just helped the Red Sox beat the Yankees in his last start, and Yarbrough got torched. However, it’s hard to beat the same team in back-to-back starts, especially when that team is one of the better lineups in baseball, like the Yankees. I think New York exacts some revenge here, so give me the Yankees.
