My Prediction
New York Yankees by 2Ladies and Gentlemen, we've got a classic American League East showdown on our hands, as the Boston Red Sox take a stroll down to Yankee Stadium to take on the formidable New York Yankees. Get your popcorn folks, this is gonna be a doozy.
Standing on the mound for the Red Sox is your guy, Hunter Dobbins. Now, Dobbins has a 4.22 ERA this season with 1.25 WHIP in 8 appearances. Decent stats, but he's up against the Yankees' starting pitcher, Carlos Rodon, who’s been striking batters out left, right and center with an 11.2 K/9 and flaunting a 2.52 ERA and 0.94 WHIP this season. In simple English, a nightmare for a batter in broad daylight.
Moving onto the batting lineup, we have Carlos Narvaez and Rafael Devers leading the charge for the Red Sox. Narvaez is currently swinging a sizzling .342 batting average while Devers has been driving in the runs with 33 RBIs and 8 homers to his name.
Don't even get me started on the Yankees. Aaron Judge, anyone? The guy's doing it all with a batting average of .375 and 17 RBIs plus 9 homers. Then we've got Cody Bellinger showing off a .323 batting average and Anthony Volpe contributing significantly too.
Now history, right? The Past Matchups Between These 2 teams show a pretty close contest, with the last five games giving us scores that could be confusing for a kindergarten mathematician—two victories for the BoSox and three for the Yanks.
While the Most Recent Results seem to echo the same sentiment, it’s good to remember the Regular Season Records tell a bit different story. The Yankees have been more consistent than a Swiss watch this season with a solid 39-24 record, while the Sox are barely hanging on with a 31-35.
Factor in the Yankee Stadium advantage, and you've got yourself a situation where the Sox are gonna need every bit of luck they can get.
Trust me, I'm not nostradamus but based on all these, I'd say:
