New York Yankees DFS Spin
Yankees shortstop Anthony Volpe was one of 3 New York players to go deep in their 9-7 loss to the Red Sox on Friday night. Hitting out of the #7 spot in the lineup, Volpe went 2 for 5 with a homer, an RBI, 2 runs scored, and a stolen base. For the season, Volpe is hitting .252 with 8 homers, 37 RBIs, 18 stolen bases, and a .689 OPS across 469 plate appearances. The New York native is batting .348 with a .940 OPS over the last 7 days, putting him in play for DFS purposes this weekend.
Boston Red Sox DFS Spin
Red Sox outfielder/shortstop Ceddanne Rafaela displayed both his power and speed in his club’s 9-7 win over the Yankees on Friday night. In that contest, the rookie from Curacao went 1 for 4 with a homer, 2 RBIs, a run scored, and a stolen base. Across 378 plate appearances, Ceddanne Rafaela is hitting .251 with 12 homers, 55 RBIs, 14 stolen bases, and a .698 OPS this season.

Yankees vs. Red Sox Betting Prediction
New York may have dropped Game 1 of this series on Friday. But several stats point to them getting back in the win column on Saturday. The Yankees are 47-30 straight up in American League games and 55-44 straight up when playing an opponent on equal rest this season. Furthermore, New York is 33-22 straight up as the road team and 48-39 straight up as a favorite this year.
Yankees starter Marcus Stroman already faced these Red Sox on June 16th. He went 5 innings and gave up 4 runs on 7 hits and 4 walks. He struck out 3 batters in a 9-3 New York loss. I like Stroman to have a nice rebound outing here and I like the Yankees to win this game outright in Fenway Park on Saturday night.
