New York at Boston

Given the recent struggles of Garrett Crochet and with Sonny Gray going on the injured list, the Red Sox's best starter just may be promising rookie Connelly Early. He had a 2.33 ERA and 1.09 WHIP in 19.1 innings last season and is 1-0 with 20 strikeouts and a 2.29 ERA in 19.2 innings this season. Early goes against the Yankees' weakest starter, Luis Gil. In two starts this season spanning nine innings, Gil has allowed seven runs, issued five walks, and surrendered four homers. New York's bullpen ranks 24th with a 5.33 ERA since April 4. Boston got its bats going, beating the Tigers, 8-6, in an early Monday game. That pushed the Red Sox record to 7-5 in their last 12 games. The Yanks are 15-24 against the Red Sox since 2023. The Yankees are 4-7 during their last 11 games at Fenway Park. Take the Red Sox.
