- The Yankees were 10-2 straight up in the last 12 home games against Boston
- The Red Sox have lost the last four series played at Yankee Stadium
When they were drawing up the 2022 MLB schedule, certainly the thinking was that a late-September series between the New York Yankees (91-58, 53-22 home) and Boston Red Sox (72-77, 35-40 away) would hold serious playoff implications.
They were half right.
The Yankees are solidly entrenched atop the American League East. Meanwhile, the Red Sox are just as firmly entrenched in the AL East basement.
It’s not surprising then that the Yankees are -255 home favorites for this game. New York is 52-22 straight up as a home favorite this season.

Boston vs New York Probable Pitchers
In Friday’s MLB lineups, the Red Sox give the ball to left-hander Rich Hill, who is just 1-2 in four September starts. However, he’s 3-2 over his past five decisions.
Hill has never won or lost more than two decisions in a row throughout the season. He’s allowed 13 earned runs over his past 17.2 innings of work.

He’ll be facing the Yankees for the first time this season. Hill is 4-2 with a 3.52 ERA in 14 career appearances against New York. The former Bronx Bomber is 2-2 with a 2.63 ERA in 18 career trips to the mound at Yankee Stadium.
Hill vs Cole Stats
| 7-7 | Record | 12-7 |
| 4.70 | ERA | 3.41 |
| 4.30 | xERA | 3.23 |
| 1.34 | WHIP | 1.03 |
| 2.73 | SO/W Ratio | 3.77 |
It hasn’t been a vintage season for Yankees right-hander Gerrit Hill. Normally a leading contender in the AL Cy Young odds, this season, Cole isn’t even registering in this betting market.
He does rank among the top 7% of MLB hurlers in strikeout percentage (32.6). Cole leads the AL in strikeouts (236), strikeouts per nine innings (11.6) and games started (30). But he’s also #1 in home runs allowed (29).

An American League choice to the MLB All-Star Game, Cole is 2-0 in September. However, he’s served up six homers over his past three starts.
He’s 2-0 with a 5.48 ERA in four starts against Boston this season. Overall, he’s 7-3 with a 4.28 ERA in 14 times facing the Red Sox.
Batting Average vs Starting Pitchers
| Yankees Batters | Batting Average vs Hill | Red Sox Batters | Batting Average vs Cole |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aaron Hicks | .500 | Abraham Almonte | 1.000 |
| Kyle Higashioka | .500 | Triston Casas | 1.000 |
| Aaron Judge | .500 | Yu Chang | .333 |
| Isiah Kiner-Falefa | .400 | Enrique Hernandez | .357 |
| Anthony Rizzo | .250 | Tommy Pham | .375 |
You can’t ask for a much better start to your career facing Cole than what Triston Casas achieved. He’s 1-for-1 (1.000) and that one hit was a two-run homer. Abraham Almonte is also 1-for-1 (1.000). Enrique Hernandez is 5-for-14 (3.57) with a solo homer. Tommy Pham is 9-for-24 (.375) with a homer and four RBI. Rafael Devers has homered six times off of Cole and driven in 15 runs. JD Martinez and Xander Bogaerts each have two homers.
