SourceWarren offers solid but hittable profile for Yankees
Will Warren enters this contest with an 8-6 record and a 4.39 ERA over 127 innings of work. While he has racked up 126 strikeouts, his 45 walks and hittable profile provide a window of opportunity for the Boston lineup.
SourceRecent form tilts momentum slightly toward New York

SourcePick Ideas
Red Sox plus 1.5 run line supported by Suarez durability
Backing Boston on the run line is supported by Suarez's strong 2025 campaign, which featured a 3.20 ERA and 4.7 WAR. His ability to keep games tight against quality offenses makes the Red Sox a viable option to cover.
Will Warren strikeout over vs aggressive Boston bats
Warren's 171 strikeouts in 162.1 innings during 2025 suggest he can clear his prop totals against a Boston lineup prone to chasing. His high strikeout rate makes this a primary focus despite his 4.39 ERA.
First five innings under behind starting arms
A low scoring start is possible given Suarez's 3.59 ERA since joining the rotation full time in 2022 and Warren's ability to miss bats. Both pitchers have the profile to limit early damage in this divisional matchup.
Yankees moneyline with home field edge
New York's 76-58 record and home field advantage provide a modest lean for a straight moneyline play. The Yankees current momentum from a one game win streak over Boston supports this position.
