The Boston Red Sox look to clinch their third series win of the season against the New York Yankees with a victory today at 7:15 p.m. ET at Fenway Park, and we have you covered with our best Yankees vs. Red Sox player props from the best sports betting sites.
Boston took two out of three games from New York – one of the World Series odds favorites – in each of the first two series between these teams. It took a step towards another series win with Friday's 9-7 come-from-behind victory.
I have been hot with my MLB player prop selections for the last week, as the previous three players tipped to produce an RBI (Jeff McNeil, Juan Soto, Brandon Lowe) have all homered in that game. So which slugger have I identified to continue that trend tonight?

Yankees vs. Red Sox expert picks
MLB picks made Saturday at 7 a.m. ET.
Stroman heads back to the “House of Horrors” that is Fenway Park, where he took the loss in his last visit on June 16 after laboring through five innings and 102 pitches in a 9-3 loss.
Much of the reason for his inflated pitch count was that he allowed seven hits, tied for his most since May 9, and he walked four batters for the fourth time this season.
The Yankees bullpen entered Friday tied for the third-most innings pitched of any American League bullpen since June 1, though I don't expect that to deter manager Aaron Boone from a quick hook if Stroman simply does not have it again.
Should Stroman record 15 or fewer outs for the fourth time in the last five starts, a winning $10 wager would pay out $18.33 per our odds converter.
Best odds: -120 via Betway | Implied probability: 54.55%

The last time the Red Sox faced Stroman, they stole a franchise record nine bases, as manager Alex Cora and the rest of the coaching staff clearly identified something in the righty's slow delivery they could exploit.
Duran was responsible for two of those swipes, and his 22 stolen bases are second on the team. Duran is coming off a season where he was 24-for-26 on stolen base attempts, and his 87.3% stolen base success rate (55/63) suggests he should be successful in stealing if he does run today.
Duran is the only Red Sox hitter with a prop total as high as 1.5 hits at Betway, and that has us confident in this wager's 28.57% implied probability with the likelihood of Duran reaching base multiple times. Should Duran swipe at least one bag, $10 wagers would return $25 in profit.
Best odds: +250 via Betway | Implied probability: 28.57%
Devers is just 1-for-12 in his career against Stroman, but his splits from the left and right side of the plate suggest he is a prime RBI candidate if the Red Sox put as many runners on base as I expect them to.
Devers is slashing .338/.428/.724 against right-handed pitchers and .216/.277/.360 against southpaws. He already entered Friday with eight RBIs in 22 at-bats this season against New York, and his 1.079 OPS over the last 30 days suggests that success should continue.
Devers' 28 home runs against the Yankees since 2017 are the most by any player in MLB, and I am more than happy to back this at coin-flip odds.
Best odds: +100 via Betway | Implied probability: 50%
