Yankees Lineup vs. Brayan Bello (L)
Tonight’s Yankees vs. Red Sox odds favor New York — and for good reason. Yankees hitters like Aaron Judge and Juan Soto have shown strong performances against left-hand pitchers. Judge boasts a .503 wOBA and .408 ISO, while Soto has a .418 wOBA and .234 ISO. Ben Rice and Alex Verdugo have lower wOBA figures, .260 and .249 respectively, suggesting mixed results against lefties. Rice’s 30.4 K% and Verdugo’s 23.8 K% are notable concerns for early innings.
Red Sox Lineup vs. Nestor Cortes (L)
Red Sox hitters Rafael Devers and Jarren Duran have solid stats against left-hand pitchers, with Devers having a .467 wOBA and .386 ISO, and Duran posting a .392 wOBA and .277 ISO. Rob Refsnyder and Tyler O’Neill have moderate success, with wOBA figures of .344 and .325 respectively. O’Neill’s high 37.2 K% could impact early scoring opportunities.
Nestor Cortes vs. Red Sox Hitters
Cortes has a 22 K% and 4.8 BB%, with a 1.43 HR/9 rate. His WHIP stands at 1.16, showing efficiency against hitters. However, his 19 home runs allowed can be a vulnerability.
Brayan Bello vs. Yankees Hitters
Bello’s 21.2 K% and 7.8 BB% indicate moderate strikeout and control rates. With a 1.44 WHIP and 1.41 HR/9, Bello may struggle against power hitters like Judge and Soto. His 12-6 NRFI/YRFI record suggests variability in early innings.
