Stadium: Fenway (Boston)
The Yankees' super offense is back in action! Aaron Boone's team crushed the Red Sox at Fenway Park for the second time in a row, thanks to Giancarlo Stanton's grand slam. Will the Yankees be able to win the third time as well? There are several options to bet on in the season’s final game between the opponents, as well as the final Sunday Night Baseball game of the season.
Boston heated things up
Before a series of matches with the Yankees, Red Sox had everything. Win at least two out of three games and you're almost in the playoffs. However, Alex Cora's team decided it was too easy. The Sox failed their first game against the Yankees, 3-8. In the second, they led until the eighth inning, when relievers Hook and Hernandez failed to handle the top of the batting lineup. 3-5, and Boston allowed New York to catch up in the standings. And a powerful Toronto is just 2 wins behind. The Sox made life very difficult for themselves.
Eduardo Rodriguez will pitch in the final game of the series, 11-8, and a 4.97 ERA this season.
Will the Yankees keep ripping the opponent apart?
Actually, don't overestimate the success of Aaron Boone's team in the first games of the series at Fenway Park. Both wins are a credit to one player. Giancarlo Stanton had 4 RBI in each game. Oh, what would the Yankees do without him? Plus, the Red Sox didn't work well on offense.
Jordan Montgomery will be closing the season series with their deadly enemy. The 28-year-old pitcher has six wins, six losses, and a 3.55 ERA this season.
Head-to-head encounters
The score in the season series is 10-8 in favor of Boston. The upcoming game is the final game in the seasonal confrontation.
Expert Betting Tips
What can we do, we still believe in Boston. Alex Cora's team has lost 5 straight games to the Yankees, which is unforgivable. And it wouldn’t have happened without the genius of Giancarlo Stanton. The Sox should have won last time. They still have to win now. Moreover, the situation in the standings has become incredibly dangerous for the Reds.
Prediction: Boston will win.
