MLB Network will host the first game of Thursday’s doubleheader between the New York Yankees (73-72) and the Boston Red Sox (73-72), with first pitch set for 1:35 p.m. ET. The game will take place at Fenway Park in Boston, Massachusetts, and will also air on Amazon Prime Video in the Yankees market and on NESN in the Red Sox market. New York will start Michael King (4-5, 2.82 ERA), while Boston counters with Tanner Houck (4-9, 5.28).
New York won both games of Tuesday’s doubleheader, which keeps them within seven games in theloss column of the third Wild Card spot. Carlos Rodon gave up a solo shot early but then allowed only three other hits while striking out nine over five innings. The Yankees didn’t score until the fifth inning, but RBI from Estevan Florial, Austin Wells, Jake Bauers and Gleyber Torres helped secure the 4-1 win.
This is not where Boston wants to be as they try to make a playoff push. They are now 1-5 over their last six and 4-11 over their last 15 games. Kutter Crawford pitched well on Tuesday, but his pitch count got away from him as he threw 93 pitches in just 4.2 innings. It looked like it was going to be a good game for the Red Sox as Ceddanne Rafaela launched a solo shot in the bottom of the first, but Boston tallied only five more hits the rest of the game.
The Red Sox are the -118 moneyline favorites at DraftKings Sportsbook. The Yankees are the -102 underdogs, and the run total is set at 9.
