🏆 Who will win Red Sox vs. Yankees?
I like Boston’s chances off pulling the upset in the second game of the doubleheader given the advantages it has in the bullpen.
Score prediction: Red Sox 6, Yankees 4
💰 Red Sox vs. Yankees prediction & best bet
Red Sox ML (+118)
Anytime two teams meet in a twin bill it puts an emphasis on the bullpen, which is one area where the Red Sox have a clear advantage.
Since July 1, Boston’s relievers lead the Majors in ERA and FIP, and lead all AL bullpens in HR/9 rate and WAR.
The Red Sox have also had their share of success against the Yankees, winning four straight in the rivalry, and 13 of the last 20 at Yankee Stadium. They are an MLB-best 27-12 since the All-Star Break, and Roman Anthony’s return only strengthens a deep and powerful lineup.

SBR Edge: Bucking a doubleheader trend
If Boston wins the second game of the doubleheader, it would improve to 2-1 in such games, and would also be New York's first loss in that split (2-0 entering today).
