Expert Picks & Player Props to Bet in Yankees vs Red Sox on June 26

• I’m backing the Yankees to bounce back in Game 2 of their series vs the Red Sox tonight
• Under 9 runs offers contrarian value given Boston’s sluggish home offense
• Check out the expert picks and player props to bet in Yankees vs Red Sox on June 26, below

The Yankees (48-31) and Red Sox (32-46) continue their AL East series at Fenway Park tonight, with first pitch scheduled for 7:10 PM ET. The MLB weather forecast is currently looking a little dicey, with a strong chance of rain and potential thunderstorms on deck.

Boston took last night’s matchup 6-3, capitalizing on four New York errors and a Caleb Durbin home run. Even with the home team securing that victory, the Yankees enter this contest as road favorites in the MLB odds.

I expect a strong bounce-back effort from New York. Will Warren takes the mound for the away side, while Payton Tolle counters for Boston. Check out my expert picks and player props to bet in the Yankees vs Red Sox clash on June 26, below.

My top two wagers in this matchup are the Yankees moneyline and under 9 runs. According to the MLB starting lineups data, New York boasts a .766 team OPS and 119 home runs this season. Boston has managed a pedestrian .697 OPS and 67 homers. With Warren pitching to a 3.45 ERA, the Yankees possess the clear offensive edge to secure an outright win.

Runs should be difficult to come by at Fenway Park. Tolle owns a stellar 3.08 ERA and 1.09 WHIP. Warren matches up well, keeping his ERA under 3.50 over 78.1 innings. Late-inning scoring will also be tough against two effective bullpens. Boston’s relievers hold a 3.25 ERA, while New York’s bullpen sits at 3.35.

Will Warren vs Payton Tolle Stats

Warren has logged 15 starts, securing a 7-2 record with a strong 9.65 K/9. His ability to generate whiffs is evident, though his 1.33 WHIP shows some susceptibility to baserunners. Over his last 10 appearances, his ERA has inflated to 3.91 while walking 3.40 batters per nine innings.

Tolle meanwhile, limits the opposition to a .218 batting average. Over his last 10 starts, Tolle maintained a steady 3.24 ERA and a 1.13 WHIP with superior command at 2.62 walks per nine innings.

Yankees vs Red Sox Stats

Boston sits dead last in the majors in home win percentage (.342), runs per game (3.41), and average exit velocity (86.0 mph). Conversely, New York holds the third-best road win percentage (.605) and ranks fifth in road home runs per game (1.33).

New York wins 60.0% of its games overall and is one of the top World Series odds contenders. The Under has cashed in 60.0% of their last 10 matchups.

Boston has won just 3 of its last 10 games. Runs have been scarce, with the Under hitting in 70.0% of those matchups.

In the MLB props market, I am targeting Tolle Over 5.5 K’s. He consistently misses bats, holding an 8.67 K/9 rate. New York features a high-upside lineup but is prone to strikeouts, accumulating 695 punchouts this year per the MLB batter vs pitcher stats. Even if the Yankees win, Tolle is well-positioned to clear this strikeout total.

I’m also betting Paul Goldschmidt to record 2+ Bases. Goldschmidt has compiled a .923 OPS and a .568 slugging percentage alongside 14 home runs. He thrives on hard contact and offers strong value to do damage against this pitching staff.
