Preview

The Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees will play the 3rd game of series at the Yankee Stadium on night. The Yanks will be looking to sweep the Red Sox at home.

Boston Red Sox

The Red Sox gave quite a fight in the opening day as they pounded Gerrti Cole in the 1st inning scoring 3 runs but the Yanks late response tied the game and beat them in extra innings. In the last game the Red Sox couldn't do much against the Yankees bullpen. After scoring 2 runs to Severino with a 2-run home run from from Verdugo the Red Sox coulnd't hit anymore for the rest of the game.

Nick Pivetta pitched 5.2 innings and allowed 4 runs including a home run from Rizzo. 

Probable Pitcher: 

Tanner Houck (0-0, 0.0 ERA) will take the mound in the 3rd game of the series for the Red Sox. Houck had a 1-5 record with an ERA of 3.52, 87 strikeouts and 1 save in 18 appearances in his rookie season in 2021. He's done a good job agasint the Yankees, in the last 3 games he's allowed only 2 runs in 14.2 innings pitched and the Red Sox won 2 of those 3 games.

New York Yankees

The Yanks started the season with the right foot, winning the first 2 games at home against their archrivals. In the last game the Yankees only had 4 hits but Anthony Rizzo and Giancarlo Stanton each had two-run HRs and that was enough to win the game as their bullpen did a great job. 

Giancarlo Stanton has one RBI and one home run for New York with a batting average of .200, Aaron Judge is batting .400 on the season so far with a slugging percentage of points 600 and then on base percentage of .400. Anthony Rizzo has two RBIs on one home run and a batting average of .333.

Severino started for the Yanks and allowed the only 2 runs Boston had in the game. He also had 5 strike outs and gave 2 BB.

Probable Pitcher:

Jordan Montgomery (0-0, 0-0 ERA) will be on the mound for the Yankees in the 3rd game of the series. Montgomery was 6-7 with a 3.83 ERA in 30 starts last year. He is also a quality starter, striking at 162 in 157.1 innings while posting a 1.28 WHIP. He has a record of 1-2 with an ERA of 3.72 and 50 strikeouts in 11 appearances against the Red Sox in his career.

BETTING TRENDS

Boston are 1-8 SU in their last 9 games against NY Yankees.

Boston are 0-7 SU in their last 7 games when playing on the road against NY Yankees.

The total has gone UNDER in 9 of NY Yankees' last 13 games against Boston.

NY Yankees are 6-2 SU in their last 8 games at home.

Prediction

The Red Sox have struggled lately at the Yankee stadium and are currently on 7 game losing streak there. Tanner Houck has been really good vs Yankees so I expect a close game on this one and with Montgomery on the mound this game should be under the total again. The under is cashing big time in the Boston-NY games lately. Take the under.

PICK: Under 9  (-110)
