Yankees vs Red Sox Prediction

The current betting odds have the Red Sox listed as a slight underdog in this game. The Red Sox have not been playing well in this series as their pitching is very decimated and the Yankees would not stop scoring runs on them in their 2 wins. The Red Sox were not playing well in their last few games prior to this series as well but they play well at home and they are going to be trying for the split here or trying to avoid the sweep depending on what happen in game 3. They have their best chance in this game though as one of their few starters left, Nick Pivetta, is starting here and he will offer the Red Sox a chance to go deep into the game with his pitching and take some stress off of this bullpen. The Yankees have been playing very well but they have Taillon starting here and he has been slipping up in his last few starts as he is starting to allow a lot more runs now. This is still a big rivalry game and the Red Sox will make sure to bring everything they have for this Sunday night game. the best way to place a bet here is on the Red Sox to win here.
 
Yankees Red Sox Prediction:  Our MLB Pick for Sunday, July 10, 2022 (7:08 pm ET start time) is Red Sox 7 Yankees 5.

"I just wake up every day, and I'm so fired up to come out to the park and put on this uniform. Tonight was just really tough at-bats, all the way top to bottom.
