It\u2019s a shame that midseason Yankees vs. Red Sox on \u201cSunday Night Baseball<\/a>\u201d doesn\u2019t hold the same gravitas that the rivalry is capable of.\u00a0<\/p>\n

That\u2019s partly because Aaron Judge is still on the injured list and partly because the Red Sox have plummeted in organizational disarray.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For as much as Boston\u2019s anemic offense and error-prone defense has hindered it, the pitching has been as advertised: a top-10 rotation supported by a top-3 bullpen in ERA.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Before this series, Boston dropped two of three to the woeful Rockies. The win came from Sonny Gray, who delivered an 11-strikeout gem, allowing one earned run in seven innings. While this was against a rudderless Rockies club, Gray has still delivered what the Red Sox traded for throughout his 14 starts, serving as a leader in a clubhouse bereft of maturity.<\/p>\n

Yankees vs. Red Sox prediction, best bet<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old is playing on an expiring contract, and with the trade deadline approaching in just over one month, each start is critical. Gray\u2019s 9-1 record and 2.95 ERA are a testament to his elite command and efficiency through 76 \u2153 innings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Facing him is Carlos Rodon, who has been progressively building back to form this season after recovering from elbow surgery. He\u2019s been a reliable piece in an ailing Yankees rotation at 4-2 with a 3.70 ERA, but his command isn\u2019t quite there with a walk rate that\u2019s crept up to 4.79 per nine innings.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Offensively, the Yankees are simply not the same without Judge. With No. 99, they were second overall in wRC+; without him, they are 14th.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Yankees are scraping for runs at Fenway in this series, posting a putrid .229\/.262\/.490 slash line through the first two games.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the same time, Boston has found a little rhythm, outscoring the Bombers 12-4 in those games while Caleb Durbin hits the seams off the baseball. The controversial third base replacement had multi-hit games in six of his last eight heading into Saturday\u2019s matinee.<\/p>\n

Oddsmakers have caught on, too. After opening as favorites in the first three games, the Yankees are even-money underdogs with the Sox priced modestly at -118. The Red Sox may not have the long-term gas, but they\u2019re worth a moneyline sprinkle on primetime.\u00a0<\/p>\n
