Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees Prediction: A high-scoring encounter ahead

Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees will square it off at Fenway Park in MLB action this Friday. The two teams are coming off a series win and will look to secure a win in this one. Which side draws the first blood?

Boston Red Sox are coming off a brilliant performance against the Boston Red Sox in their last series. Starting the series with a 1-4 defeat, the Boston Red Sox bounced back to win 8-6 and 9-3. In the American League, the Boston Red Sox are seated 7th with a 35-34 record.

The New York Yankees are coming off a series against the Kansas City Royals, and they won that series. In that series, the New York Yankees had a solid start in the first three games, and in the finale, they lost 4-3. In that series, the New York Yankees scored 27 runs while conceding 12. The New York Yankees are seated at the top of the American League standings with a 49-22 record.

The New York Yankees are in hot form and will be confident of securing a win as favorites in this opener. However, the Boston Red Sox have been a tough opponent for the New York Yankees in recent meetings, but I think this could be a tough one. Regardless, this should be a more focused offensive game, and I am backing this one to end with high runs.
