The first two games of the series both hit the over with ease. Boston took a 10-7 victory on Saturday, powered by a three-hit, five-RBI night from shortstop Trevor Story. The Yankees earned a 9-6 win on Friday, piling up seven runs in the first two innings against Boston starter Walker Buehler.

Sunday’s MLB public betting splits are all over the Yankees. New York has attracted 84% of moneyline handle, along with 85% of ML wagers. New York is also getting 76% of money bet on the runline as -1.5 favorites. The public is also backing the over, with 76% of O/U money on the over so far.

BOS vs NYY Starting Pitching Matchup

Hunter Dobbins, a 25-year-old rookie, gets the nod for the Bo-Sox in the series finale. This will be his first career start against the Yankees. His last outing was one of the best of his fledgling career; pitching behind an opener, he went 5.0 innings against the Angels, allowing just one run on four hits and a walk in a 7-6 loss.

While the sample size is small, Dobbins actually has a better FIP and xFIP than his counterpart Rodon this season, even though the veteran Yankee hurler has an ERA that 1.57 runs better.

Sunday will be Rodon’s first start of the season against Boston, but there’s plenty of history between the 32-year-old lefty and the Red Sox lineup, and it’s not great for the pitcher. In 72 total at-bats, Rodon has allowed a .264 average and .815 OPS to the current Boston hitters. Ceddanne Rafaela, Rob Refsnyder, and Connor Wong have each taken him deep once. Rafael Devers has five hits and two RBI in 15 at bats, including one double and one triple.

Rodon has been nearly untouchable lately, though. He’s allowed just two runs total over his last four starts, combining to go 25.0 innings with 31 strikeouts. He’s allowed 14 hits and seven walks in that span. Last time out, he held the Guardians to one run on five hits and a walk with eight Ks in a 3-2 Yankee win.

BOS vs NYY Player Props (June 8)

MLB player props from DraftKings on June 8.

Held without a home run for six straight games, Aaron Judge (.390 BA, 1.233 OPS, 21 HR, 51 RBI) – the runaway favorite in the AL MVP odds – has the shortest odds to go long tonight at +260. Rafael Devers (.283 BA, .921 OPS, 13 HR, 56 RBI) has the shortest odds on the Boston side at +350.

Oddsmakers expect a much longer and more-productive outing from Yankee starter Rodon, whose total outs has been set at 18.5 and whose strikeout prop is sitting at 7.5. Boston starter Hunger Dobbins has an outs-recorded prop of 14.5 and strikeout prop of just 4.5.

Red Sox vs Yankees Picks & Predictions for Sunday Night Baseball

• Devers over 0.5 RBI (+180) at BetMGM
• Red Sox moneyline (+186) at DraftKings

As solid as Rodon has been the past three weeks, I am going to back the Red Sox at significant plus-money on Sunday. The 32-year-old is getting better results than his peripherals project. He’s also been piling up the pitches of late, going over 100 in three of his past four starts. His K-rate is way up compared to last year (31.6% compared to 26.5%) even though his velo is down over one MPH and his spin rate is basically the same.

The Boston batting order has found plenty of success against him in the past, and there’s a very real chance that continues tonight.

Meanwhile, the Boston bullpen very quietly has a better ERA than their Yankee counterparts (3.46 vs 3.66). With Judge in a mild slump, this is a great opportunity to target Boston at +186, which equals just a 34.97% implied win probability.
