MLB Odds: Red Sox and Yankees Clash on Tuesday

As the MLB regular season nears conclusion, every game goes toward clarifying the playoff picture. While it’s a foregone conclusion that Boston will take the AL East title, the Red Sox will have the opportunity to officially celebrate clinching by winning two of three from the Yankees this week. Beginning on Tuesday, New York will welcome the Red Sox to Yankees Stadium for the first of a three-game set.


JA Happ will take the mound for New York to open the series. The veteran lefty has arguably been the Yankees’ best starter since his acquisition from the Toronto Blue Jays in July. He’s a perfect 6-0 with a 2.70 ERA over his brief stint with the Bronx Bombers and will look to further improve upon his already impressive 16-6 season record with an important game against the AL East rivals.

Boston will tap starter Nathan Eovaldi to counter against Happ. Eovaldi hasn’t won a game since August 4 when he faced these same Yankees at home. Since then, he’s 0-3 over seven starts and has failed to get out of the fifth innings in five of those appearances. While Eovaldi is a depth starter for Boston, they’ll be expecting him to improve upon his recent performances in a playoff-like atmosphere in New York.

MLB Odds: Judge to Return Against Red Sox

The New York Yankees will host the Boston Red Sox this Tuesday (1:05 PM ET) in the first of three games at Yankee Stadium. One noteworthy return to the lineup will be Yankees’ right fielder Aaron Judge. Judge has been out of action since July when he fractured his wrist, but he returned as a fielder this weekend. We can expect the power hitter to be back at the plate this week against Boston.


Red Sox’ starter Nathan Eovaldi will look to neutralize the power bat of Judge, as he attempts to get his first win since August. Boston is just two games away from capturing the AL East crown, so they’ll be eager to do it in style against their closest foes.
