Entering his third major league season, Houck had a so-so spring training but has been tough against the Yankees.

Houck is 1-1 with a 1.77 ERA in his nascent career against the Yankees in six games (three starts). At Yankee Stadium, he is 0-0 with a 2.57 ERA in two games (one start).

Yankees infielders DJ LeMahieu and Gleyber Torres are both 0-for-7 against Houck.

Montgomery worked just 3.2 innings during exhibition play, seeing most of his action in minor league games. He gave up three runs and eight hits while striking out six and walking one.

In 11 career starts against the Red Sox, Montgomery is 1-2 with a 3.72 ERA. He was 3-4 with a 3.89 ERA in 11 starts at home last season and 6-3 with a 3.00 ERA in 18 night starts.

Red Sox shortstop Xander Bogaerts has given Montgomery trouble, going 12-for-26 (.462) with two doubles. However, designated hitter J.D. Martinez is 1-for-18 (.056) vs the lefty with eight strikeouts.

Red Sox vs Yankees Betting Outlook

Giancarlo Stanton broke a 2-2 tie with a two-run home run in the sixth inning Saturday to lift the Yankees to victory. He became the first player in history to hit a home run against the Red Sox in six consecutive games.

Stanton has AL MVP odds of +5000.

Anthony Rizzo tied the game with a two-run shot in the fourth inning. He has homered in each of the first two games of 2022.

Rizzo and Stanton are the first teammates in Yankees’ history to homer together in back-to-back games to begin a season. The Yankees are also 2-0 for the first time since 2018 after the Red Sox won last year’s season series 10-9.
