Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees Prediction: The Yankees will also win the third game of the series in Boston

The New York Yankees beat Boston twice in a row at Fenway Park and lead the season series with a score of 4:1. Will the Red Sox be able to close the gap on their third home game? There are several options to bet on at once.

The team is having its second consecutive losing divisional series. Ahead of their games against the New York Yankees, Boston lost two home games out of three to Tampa Bay (4:0, 4:8, 1:7). The Red Sox have now lost twice to the Yankees and dropped to fourth place in the American League East Division standings. With Toronto, Boston has an identical balance (45-39), 0.5 wins behind Tampa Bay, and already 16 wins behind the Yankees.

Boston's starting pitcher for the third game in the series with the Yankees is Cutter Crawford, 2-2 and with a 5.04 ERA in 11 games, only two of which the pitcher has been a starter.

Honestly, Houston seems to be the only American League team capable of stopping the New York Yankees. All others, including the Yankees' division rivals, are unlikely to compete with Aaron Boone's team hypothetically in the playoffs. The Yankees' 15.5 win advantage over their nearest chaser in the AL East is fair and deserved.

Starting on the pitching hill for the Yankees in Game 3 of the series at Fenway Park will be Jordan Montgomery, 3-2 and a 3.19 ERA in 16 games this season.

There's no way to find a reason for Boston to win this upcoming game at all. This season, the New York Yankees' superiority in the AL East Division is so great that it's simply too expensive to bet against them. A third straight win for the Yankees in a crucial encounter on the Fenway would not be a surprise.
