Prop Bets: Boston Red Sox VS New York Yankees 2025-08-24

The Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees Showdown: A Rivalry That’s Older Than Your Grandpa’s Arthritis

The Boston Red Sox (-169) and New York Yankees (+141) clash in a Sunday Night Baseball classic, and let’s just say the air between Fenway Park and the Bronx is thicker with tension than a postgame press conference after a controversial call. The SportsLine model is confident this won’t be a low-scoring bore-fest: the over 8.5 runs (-110) is projected to hit, because when these two teams play, the only thing louder than the crowd is the sound of shattered pitching plans.

Carlos Rodon (-126 to strike out 6.5) is the Yankees’ ace, but even he can’t stop the blood feud. His 7.0 K/9 rate? A nice stat. The fact that he’s facing a Red Sox lineup that’s hit 15 HRs in his last 3 starts? A curse. Meanwhile, Dustin May (+114 to strike out 4.5) will try to avoid becoming the latest victim in the “Yankees Pitchers vs. Red Sox Bats” Hall of Shame. Spoiler: He’ll fail.

For player props, Ryan McMahon (-170 to get a hit) and Jazz Chisholm Jr. (-165) are the Red Sox’ best bets to avoid looking like they’re playing in a parallel universe. The Yankees? Aaron Judge (-105 to get a hit) is basically a guaranteed 5-tool player by now (hit, HR, RBI, speed, and “ability to make Boston fans scream”).

Final Score Prediction: Red Sox 6, Yankees 5 (OVER 8.5, 1.87). Why? Because when these teams play, even the bullpen warm-up guy bets on the over.

Key Prop to Target: Jazz Chisholm Jr. (-165 to get a hit). He’s a .340 hitter against righties this season. May is a righty. Math is math.

Final Thought: This game isn’t about baseball—it’s about proving your city’s nickname (“Beantown” vs. “The City That Invented Baseball”) is superior. Spoiler: It’s not. But the bets? They’ll be settled tonight.
