The New York Yankees (71-41) and Boston Red Sox (55-58) swing into a 3-game set with a Friday 7:10 p.m. ET contest at Fenway Park. Let’s analyze Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Yankees vs. Red Sox odds with MLB picks and predictions.
Season series: New York leads 6-4
The usually heavily-favored Yankees have lost bettors a lot of money in the last month. Beginning with back-to-back losses to the Red Sox July 9-10, New York has gone just 10-18 in its last 28 games. But how we frame where the Yanks are now should at least include the fact they have outscored foes 152-131 in the last 28 games.
The Red Sox have scuffled their way to a similar 8-19 mark since taking those July games from New York. The Boston offense has been abysmal over that stretch (.665 OPS, huge 27% strikeout rate).
