After putting the skids on a five-game losing streak, the Boston Red Sox look to wrap up their rain-shortened series with in the Bronx with a win over the New York Yankees.

Boston stopped a 5-game losing skid to New York with a 5-3 win in Friday’s opener, and the teams were rained out Saturday. That game will be made up laster in August.

The books like a bounce back from the home team, placing the Yankees as favorites in the MLB odds.

First pitch scheduled for at 1:35pm ET this afternoon from Yankee Stadium in the Bronx, in a game that can be seen live nationally on both ESPN Unlimited and MLB TV.

New York enters this afternoon clash as a clear home favorite on the moneyline at -162 at FanDuel. This reflects their massive statistical advantages and Cam Schlittler’s dominance on the mound (more on that in a second). Bettors looking to back them on the runline can find plus-money value (+130 at bet365) for a multi-run win.

Boston sits at +141 to pull off the outright upset at DraftKings, while getting 1.5 runs on the spread will dig into your potential return, with -152 odds.

BOS Red Sox vs NY Yankees Prediction

• Best Bet: Yankees ML (-170 at Caesars)

New York holds a distinct advantage on both sides of the ball. This makes them my clear pick to win outright.

They bring a formidable team OPS of .761 and a .432 slugging percentage to the plate.

This heavily overshadows a Boston lineup that has struggled to generate consistent power, slugging just .380 with a .698 OPS. While Boston holds a slight edge in team batting average (.247 compared to New York’s .241), the Yankees have tallied 205 extra-base hits compared to the Red Sox’s 169.

Backing New York also comes down to the MLB probable pitchers matching up. Cam Schlittler is piecing together a magnificent 2026 campaign.

He boasts a 9-4 record and a 1.89 ERA, cementing himself as a frontline ace. His 0.86 WHIP and .191 opponent batting average demonstrate how difficult it is to generate consistent traffic on the basepaths against him.

He pairs a 2.14 FIP with an elite 9.90 K/9 and exceptional control (1.53 BB/9). Over his last 10 outings, Schlittler has maintained a 1.96 ERA and 0.97 WHIP.

Boston will counter with Ranger Suarez who enters with a 5-6 record and 3.38 ERA. He limits the long ball effectively and carries a respectable 3.13 FIP.

His 8.74 K/9 shows he can put batters away, though a 2.91 BB/9 and 1.16 WHIP make him susceptible to high-stress innings.

Suarez is having a respectable season himself, but matching Schlittler’s current form in the Bronx is a tall order.

Red Sox vs Yankees Picks

Cam Schlittler Over 6.5 Strikeouts (+118 at FanDuel): I see tremendous betting value in backing Schlittler to continue his swing-and-miss dominance. Averaging 9.90 strikeouts per nine innings, he possesses elite put-away stuff. Getting plus-money odds on him to eclipse the 6.5 strikeout mark is one of my favorite edges on the board.

Under 8.0 Runs (-105 at Caesars): Given the pitching matchup, I anticipate a lower-scoring affair. Schlittler provides incredible run suppression, allowing 1.46 runs per game. Suarez has been reliable at keeping the ball in the yard, surrendering just 0.61 home runs per nine innings. Both bullpens are also highly effective. Boston relievers carry a stellar 2.99 ERA, while the New York bullpen sits at 3.56.
