I priced them at -155 this evening, which gives me a comfortable edge. It's a juicy price, but it's the best bet in tonight's game. As long as Bello's command is in check, he should be able to work through this lineup comfortably before handing things off to a well-rested bullpen. This Yankees lineup continues to suffer with the void left by Aaron Judge's absence. It's easy to see and I expect more of the same tonight. "The kid is growing up," Cora said after that last start. You could make the case it was his best start of the season, and even a skeptic would have to say he's improving. It came against this Yankees team, where he allowed just two earned runs over seven innings. On the other side, I mentioned Brayan Bello steadily building over his last few starts, and one of the best examples of that was his most recent. The Red Sox have shown they are both a good-hitting and unlucky team. However, the barrel and whiff rates in the Bottom 20% of baseball are particularly troubling. You can pick which Severino metrics you want to target they're all bad. The BoSox rank in the Top 10 in the expected slugging, wOBA, and batting average only five other teams in baseball can claim that.Īnd as I've mentioned, this offense gears up in Fenway and averages an entire run higher there.

That's a problem facing this Boston Red Sox team with plenty of hard hitters in its lineup.īoston isn't a team that ranks tremendously high in barrel rate or exit velocity, but when you pull back the curtain, you see more of the full story. He's given up 4+ runs in three consecutive starts and has mainly been troubled by the hard-hit ball. Severino has one of the worst expected ERAs in baseball at 6.35. This handicap is a fade of him just as much as anything. Luis Severino will take the mound for the pinstripes tonight, and the struggles of his season are just impossible to look past. Here's what we have tonight: A team - albeit a small sample - that has dominated the other this season, a steadily-improving pitcher taking on a steadily regressing one, and an offense that scores the second-most runs in baseball at home against one still missing its most prominent star in the lineup. Read on for my best bet and full MLB picks and predictions for Red Sox vs. Boston will enter today with a 3-1 season-long advantage over New York that mark could be evened or decisive by the night's end.
#YANKEES RED SOX SUNDAY NIGHT BASEBALL SERIES#
The closest of the primetime duels prompted Red Sox manager Alex Cora to semi-jokingly tell the media he thought the series was getting too much attention. These two will play a doubleheader today after a rain-out yesterday and each played a mid-week series in between its series from last weekend before facing one another again. The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox will conclude a series on Sunday Night Baseball for the second week in a row.
