New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox Prediction
The Yankees have won five of their last six games and they go for the series win today. They are in 2nd place in the AL East four games back of the Red Sox and they hold the AL Wild Card lead. The Red Sox had won three in a row before losing to the Yankees yesterday, in winning three straight they scored 24 runs before only scoring three in Game 2 of this series. Gray has been steady for the Yankees since the trade, but they have not helped him out with much run support. Boston has lost all three of Porcello’s starts against the Yankees this season, but he has a decent ERA in those games (3.79) and in his last start facing them he only gave up one run allowing three hits in six innings in a 3-0 loss. This game will be just like yesterday’s game in a low scoring affair with the Yankees coming out on top and taking the series moving to within three games of the Red Sox in the division.
