Free Sports Game Preview and Prediction: Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees
Sunday, August 20, 2023 1:35 PM
Play: Money Line: -106 New York Yankees
Nick Pivetta is expected to pitch bulk innings after opener Josh Winckowski. Pivetta has not been a reliable option. The veteran has posted a poor 6.08 ERA in his three outings this month. Pivetta has abysmal numbers against the Yankees, producing a disastrous 7.71 ERA and a 1-3 record in his career against the rivals. Furthermore, Yankees’ starter Clarke Schmidt has contained the Red Sox bats this season, limiting them to only three runs in two outings spanning 10 innings. He is also coming off his worst outing of the season as the Braves lit his ass up. The Yankees get the win and avoid the sweep here on Sunday afternoon!
