New York Yankees DFS Spin
Yankees first baseman Anthony Rizzo provided the bulk of his team’s offense in their 15-5 blowout loss to the Red Sox on Friday night. Rizzo went 1 for 4 with 3 RBIs. Hitting out of the cleanup spot, the big lefty recorded an RBI groundout in the first inning and crushed a 2-run double to left-center field in the sixth inning. For the season, Rizzo is slashing .265/.342/.437 with 9 doubles, 11 homers, and 35 RBIs across 275 plate appearances. He might be worth a flier in DFS on Saturday.
Boston Red Sox DFS Spin
Boston designated hitter Justin Turner was the catalyst in his club’s big win over the Yankees on Friday night. Turner went 3 for 5 with two home runs, a double, and 6 RBIs hitting out of the #2 spot in the lineup. The Long Beach, California native is slashing a respectable .278/.356/.451 with 14 doubles, 10 homers, 36 RBIs, and 3 stolen bases this season. Justin Turner is hitting .307 at home this year compared to just .227 on the road so Saturday’s tilt at Fenway could make him worth consideration in most DFS formats.

Yankees vs. Red Sox Betting Prediction
Boston might have won big against New York on Friday night, but the Yankees are still the superior team. New York is 6-0 in their last 6 Saturday games, and the Yankees are 7-1 in their last 8 road games with the total set between 9.0 and 10.5. Incredibly, New York has also been excellent after beginning a series as the Yankees are 84-38 in their last 122 games during Game 2 of a series. New York has also feasted on righties this season away from the Bronx as they are 9-3 in their last 12 road games against a right-handed starter. I like the Yankees to pull off the minor money-line upset in this one.
