New York Yankees DFS Spin
Yankees third baseman Josh Donaldson was the only New York player to record multiple hits in his club’s 15-5 loss to Boston on Friday night. In that game, Donaldson hit fifth in the lineup and went 2 for 4 with a single and a 413-foot solo home run. Donaldson has an OPS of .752 with 6 homers, 8 RBIs, and 5 walks across only 56 plate appearances this season. His all-or-nothing approach could offer some upside in DFS on Sunday.
Boston Red Sox DFS Spin
Red Sox left fielder Masataka Yoshida was instrumental in his club’s 15-5 blowout win over the Yankees on Friday night. In that contest, Yoshida went 4 for 4 with 2 doubles, 2 singles, a run scored, and 3 RBIs. Yoshida has been a pleasant surprise for Boston this season as he’s slashing .309/.383/.479 with 17 doubles, 1 triple, 7 homers, 36 RBIs, and 3 stolen bases. Yoshida’s .932 OPS at Fenway Park makes him an attractive DFS option for the final game of Boston’s homestand on Sunday.

Yankees vs. Red Sox Betting Prediction
This will be the second game of a split doubleheader between these two clubs on Sunday, meaning we may not see the regular starters for both games. Such a situation favors New York as they are the deeper team. The Yankees have a few other numbers on their side as they are 19-9 in their last 28 second games of a doubleheader. The Yankees are also 30-14 in their last 44 games against a starting pitcher with a WHIP over 1.30. And finally, New York is 6-2 in their last 8 games with the total set between 9.0 and 10.5. I like the Bronx Bombers to take the nightcap in Boston.
