The biggest rivalry in baseball continues in New York with the Yankees hosting the Boston Red Sox. Domingo German will go for New York, and Nick Pivetta will start for the Red Sox. Neither of these pitchers are good. German has a 3.12 ERA, but this is deceiving with a 4.06 xERA and far below average peripherals. Pivetta has a 4.35 ERA and 4.44 xERA, so he is at least much more in line with expectations but a poor starter, nonetheless.
In addition, both of these offenses have skyrocketed lately against right-handed pitching, and both of these starters are righties. New Yorks's wRC+ against righties is 123 while Boston's team wRC+ off of righties is 117.
Lastly, the Yankees have a decent bullpen, but they have their weak spots. The Red Sox have notably one of the worst 'pens in the MLB.
All of these factors point toward an over in this game. Expect plenty of fireworks and potentially a team-record-setting bomb from a potential future Triple Crown Award Winner (Aaron Judge).
