Odds from Betonline.ag
The Red Sox are playing good on the year so far, but at home the Boston team is barely over the five hundred mark. The Yankees are playing really well on the season and have been able to dominate in most of the games. Even the season series so far has seen the Yankees controlling the Red Sox with 3 wins and a lone loss. I look for that to continue in this game here as the Yankees are able to dominate the game here, but I look for the total to go under as the pitching is able to control both teams offenses.
