Red Sox vs. Yankees Prediction: Friday, September 13th

In tonight’s showdown between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees, it looks like we’re in for a low-scoring game, with fewer than 8.5 runs expected on the board. This part of my MLB best bets today hinges on the stellar pitching performances we’re set to see. 

Yankees pitcher Clarke Schmidt has been on fire this season, flaunting a dazzling 2.34 ERA and a knack for striking out batters! He’s likely to keep the Red Sox lineup in check. On the flip side, Tanner Houck, the Red Sox's starter, also brings a solid 3.24 ERA and a track record of racking up strikeouts, suggesting he’ll keep the Yankees from running up the score too.

Both teams are also grappling with some hitting woes. The Red Sox lineup includes key players like Trevor Story and Connor Wong who have been struggling recently, while the Yankees have their own set of problems with Giancarlo Stanton and Anthony Rizzo not exactly lighting up the scoreboard. This offensive inconsistency means scoring opportunities will be few and far between.

As for Clarke Schmidt, he's primed to notch over 5.5 strikeouts. With 69 strikeouts in just 65.1 innings, Schmidt is a safe bet to surpass that mark! Given the Red Sox lineup’s current struggles with solid contact, Schmidt should have no trouble racking up those Ks. 

So, with strong pitching on both sides and some underwhelming hitting, we’re looking at a game where Schmidt shines on the mound and the total runs stay under 8.5 for our MLB predictions!
