Pivetta had a three-game winning streak stopped Tuesday by the Tampa Bay Rays at Fenway Park. He was tagged for seven runs on eight hits over 5.2 innings with four strikeouts and two walks.

In four career games (three starts) versus the Yankees, Pivetta has struggled with an 0-2 record and 6.75 ERA.

Yankees vs Red Sox Betting Outlook

Alex Verdugo hit a walk-off two-run single to cap a three-run, 10th-inning and rally the Red Sox to victory Saturday night. Verdugo forced extra innings with a run-scoring single in the eighth when he tied the score at 3-3 on his way to finishing with three hits and three RBIs.

Rob Refsnyder homered and had two hits for the Red Sox, who also got two hits from Xander Bogaerts.

Third baseman Rafael Devers (back) is expected to miss his second straight game Sunday. Infielder Christian Arroyo (left groin strain) was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday and infielder Jeter Downs was recalled from Triple-A Worcester.

The Yankees’ Aaron Hicks hit a home run.

First baseman Anthony Rizzo returned to the lineup after missing four games with lower back stiffness and went 2-for-5 with a pair of doubles and two RBIs. Aaron Judge and Matt Carpenter also had two hits each.

The Yankees lead the season series 4-2 and hold a commanding 36-19 advantage over the Red Sox since 2019.

Yankees vs Red Sox Prediction

Neither starting pitcher inspires confidence following rocky outings Tuesday. Yet look to Pivetta to bounce back in this one as an underdog and help the Red Sox get a split with their archrivals.

Pick: Red Sox ML (+112)
