The Boston Red Sox (70-59) and the New York Yankees (69-59) continue their American League East rivalry series on Saturday. Boston has taken the first two games, with a 1-0 win over the Yankees on Friday.

Take the rookie, Roman Anthony, to have another standout day for today's Red Sox vs. Yankees pick, odds & expert prediction on Saturday, August 23.

If the Red Sox and Yankees are tied in the standings after 162 games, Friday’s win — and Boston’s overall dominance over New York this season — will loom large.

The Red Sox have won two of the first four games of this important four-game set against the Yankees, who are now 1-7 vs. Boston in 2025.

The Yankees lost to the Red Sox again Friday night, but manager Aaron Boone was heartened by starter Max Fried's outing. Fried pitched six scoreless innings and got a no-decision.

Bello spun seven scoreless innings, holding a potent Yankees lineup to three singles and a walk and striking out five in a 1-0 Red Sox win.

The Yankees come into play riding a five-game winning streak that included an historic nine-homer performance on Tuesday versus the Tampa Bay Rays. The Red Sox, conversely, have dropped three games in a row and are 3-7 in their last 10 contests.

Stanton and the Yankees will draw Red Sox ace Garrett Crochet, who is pitching like a Cy Young candidate this season but has looked vulnerable of late. Over Crochet’s last four starts, he’s allowed four long balls.

The Red Sox did outhit the Yankees, 10-8, but they were brutal with runners in scoring position early in the game before scoring five of their six runs in the final five innings (including two in the ninth on a Roman Anthony home run).
