Cole has a 7-5 career record against the Red Sox and a 4.50 ERA in 15 starts. He is just 2-5 with a 6.00 ERA in nine games at Fenway Park.

On the road this season, Cole is 6-2 with a 3.43 ERA in 13 starts. He is 7-4 with a 3.28 ERA at night in 18 starts. The Yankees are 17-11 when Cole pitches.

Pivetta is 0-2 with a 4.34 ERA in his last four starts, including taking a tough loss to the Tampa Bay Rays last Wednesday in St. Petersburg. He gave up only one run on two hits in five innings while striking out three and walking three.

Pivetta is 0-3 with a 9.67 ERA lifetime against the Yankees in six games (five starts).

He can be dominant at times, though.

All-Star catcher Jose Trevino will rejoin the Yankees on Tuesday night after being reinstated from the paternity list Monday.

Despite being held to four singles, the Red Sox eked out a win over the Orioles on Sunday.

The Red Sox scored the game’s lone run in the top of the first inning. Tommy Pham singled, stole second, moved to third on a groundout and scored on Xander Bogaerts’ sacrifice fly.

Second baseman Trevor Story left the game with left heel pain and is questionable for Tuesday.

The Yankees lead the season series 7-6 but the Red Sox have won four of seven at Fenway Park. Stanton is hitting .303 (10 for 33) against Boston with one double and four home runs. Rafael Devers has gone deep six times against New York in 40 at-bats.

Red Sox vs Yankees Prediction

Fenway Park has been Cole’s house of horrors at times, but the Yankees always prove to be a nightmare matchup for Pivetta. Thus, we’ll go with the chalk here.
