Red Sox vs. Yankees Prediction, Winner, Over/Under – Sunday, June 7

After Saturday’s game was rained out, the weather is not a concern for today’s collision. In fact, the weather could help contribute to run production with 13 mph winds pushing to right field, per RotoGrinders. Plus, Ballpark Pal gives today’s game the fourth-highest home run factor at +16%, which combines park and weather factors. 

FanGraphs tabs the Yankees with a .432 SLG (third) and .191 ISO (first), though that’s taken a hit following the news of OF Aaron Judge’s injury. The Red Sox’s bats lack punch with a .132 ISO (28th) and 0.77 home runs per game (30th). Will both lineups fail to take advantage of favorable weather today?

Sunday’s pitching matchup features a duel between Red Sox SP Ranger Suarez (2-3, 11 GS, 3.38 ERA, 3.51 xFIP) and Yankees SP Cam Schlittler (7-3, 13 GS, 1.89 ERA, 2.83 xFIP).

Suarez allowed only 1 earned run and posted a 0.66 ERA over his first three starts in May, but that hot streak didn’t last for long, as he gave up 9 earned runs with an 8.10 ERA in his last two outings. 

Meanwhile, Schlittler may see some negative regression to his 1.89 ERA, proven by a 2.69 xERA and 2.83 xFIP. The second-year big leaguer comes off his worst start of the season, ceding 5 hits and 4 earned runs in 4.1 innings of work on June 2.

Lock in your Red Sox vs. Yankees prediction on PrizePicks before the first pitch.

• While each lineup may currently lack power, both starters have been vulnerable of late.
• Red Sox SP Ranger Suarez has limited sluggers with his 0.61 HR/9 and 35.0% hard-hit rate allowed (72nd percentile), via Baseball Savant.
• However, the veteran southpaw allows plenty of contact with his .246 xBA allowed (43rd percentile), paired with a 41.3% ground ball rate ceded (42nd percentile).
• His 27.7% line drive percentage allowed is on pace for a career-worst, which is well above the 19.3% league average. New York’s league-best 10.6% barrel rate could make Suarez pay.
• The Yankees boast MLB’s top mark with a .349 wOBA against left-handed pitching, and they sport 12.4 runs above average against sinkers (first) — Suarez’s most-used pitch (27.1%).
• Boston has tallied 5.4 runs per game over its last 10 games, rising from 4.0 per contest on the season (25th).
• In the 10-game split, the Red Sox’s power has improved by launching 1.0 home runs per game compared to 0.77 on the season.
• With Boston’s power recently improving, Yankees SP Cam Schlittler’s 40.1% hard-hit rate (41st percentile) allowed calls for concern.
• In the last 14 days, the Red Sox have the fifth-most runs above average against four-seam fastballs, and Schlittler’s most-used pitch is a four-seamer (45.4%).
