Yankees vs. Red Sox Key Players to Watch
New York Yankees
Aaron Judge: The runaway favorite to win AL MVP hit a destructive 470-foot on Friday, but the pitching staff couldn’t keep down the Red Sox offense. A lot of pressure falls on Judge, but he has been up to the task all year, posting a big league best .437 on-base percentage with 36 home runs and 92 runs batted in.
Boston Red Sox
Masataka Yoshida: Yoshida is in form out of the All-Star break, hitting .333 with four RBI’s in 18 at bats, including a clutch two run single in the ninth inning on Friday.
Yankees vs. Red Sox Prediction and Pick
The Yankees' struggles continued on Friday, losing 9-7 in Boston, and I’ll fade them yet again on Saturday.
Kutter Crawford has had the Yankees number in his short big league career, pitching to a 1.96 ERA in eight starts against New York.
The Red Sox are the better team at the moment, back them at home.
PICK: Red Sox ML (-120)
