Yankees vs. Red Sox prediction: MLB Sunday odds, bets, picks

With his spot in the Yankees’ starting rotation on tenuous ground, Will Warren is struggling.The right-hander hasn’t been the same since his promising start to the 2026 MLB season, posting an ERA over 5.00 in each of the past three months heading into Sunday’s start versus the Red Sox.Over that stretch, batters are hitting .304 with 13 home runs over 62 ⅔ innings against Warren.Warren’s strikeouts and walks have taken a turn for the worse as well, posting a 8.04 K/9 and 3.73 BB/9, which are both several ticks off from the first couple months of the year.Last time out against Houston, Warren had his best start of August, allowing two earned runs over five innings.Even in that start he was pitching in and out of trouble, having allowed seven hits, a homer and two walks.Warren’s last look at the Red Sox provides another reason for concern.On June 26 at Fenway Park, Boston tagged him for five earned runs on seven hits and three walks over 5 ⅔ innings in a 6-1 Yankees loss.Perhaps most worrying, Warren failed to record a single strikeout while facing 27 batters.Back-to-back shutouts aside spanning Thursday and Friday, the Red Sox offense has been white-hot of late.The pinstripes’ division rival is still averaging more than five runs per game over its past 10 contests heading into Saturday’s doubleheader and has been particularly dangerous against right-handed pitching.Given Warren’s recent struggles limiting hard contact and keeping the ball in the park, this is a difficult matchup to trust him in.The play: Will Warren Over 2.5 earned runs prop (+110, bet365)Dylan Svoboda is a versatile writer and analyst across many sports.He’s particularly knowledgeable about the big three — MLB, the NFL and the NBA....
