New York Yankees vs Boston Game Prediction
New York Yankees
Luis Gil (9-4, 3.41 ERA) is challenging for his 10th win of the season. Gil had a poor performance in the home game against Cincinnati on the 3rd, giving up 4 runs in 4 innings and suffering a loss. He continues to exhibit bad pitching habits from his rough periods. Although he recorded a win with 1 run allowed over 5 innings in an away game against Boston on June 15th, he is now completely different from the pitcher he was then. What’s encouraging is that the Yankees’ batting lineup exploded again after a long time, scoring 14 runs including 4 home runs while completely demolishing Boston’s pitching staff in the previous game. Ben Rice, who hit 3 home runs and collected 7 RBIs on his own, led the team to victory with the best day of his career. The bullpen, which pitched 4.2 innings allowing just 1 hit without a run, seemed to have finally fulfilled its role after a long time.
Boston
Cutter Crawford (4-7, 3.47 ERA) is aiming for his 5th win of the season. Crawford secured a victory with an impressive pitching performance, allowing 1 run on 3 hits over 6 innings in an away game against Miami on the 3rd, which was fortunate as it overcame his poor away performance. He recorded a win with 3 runs allowed on 3 hits over 6 innings in a home game against the Yankees on June 17th, and maintaining that form in this away game would bring peace of mind for ending the first half of the season. The Boston lineup, which scored 4 runs including Rafael Devers’ solo home run against Gerrit Cole in the previous game, isn’t bad in terms of hitting. Eventually, the later innings could be key. The bullpen, which allowed 11 runs over 4.1 innings, might worry about Greg Weisert’s declining effectiveness.
Comment
The last game saw Boston's bullpen collapse. The characteristic of this series seems to be that each team's bullpen collapses once. Considering the previous games, there’s a high chance that Gil and Crawford will both struggle equally, leading to a tight game. The game will likely unfold as a bullpen battle, where the Yankees have slightly better performance in the later innings, which will decide the game. The New York Yankees, with the home advantage, are closer to victory.
