New York Yankees DFS Spin
Yankees designated hitter Aaron Judge reached base 6 times in his club’s 11-8 extra-innings win over the Red Sox on Saturday. In that game, Judge went 4 for 4 with a double, a homer, 3 RBIs, 3 runs scored, and 2 walks. The slugger from Linden, CA is having a phenomenal season as he’s batting .314 with 37 homers, 95 RBIs, and an OPS of 1.131 across 462 plate appearances. The former 2022 AL MVP is hitting .333 with an OPS of 1.341 over the last 15 days. That fact makes him worthy of DFS consideration despite the lofty price tag.
Boston Red Sox DFS Spin
Red Sox left fielder Tyler O’Neill drove in half of his team’s runs in their 11-8 loss to the Yankees on Saturday. In that contest, the former Cardinal went 3 for 4 with 2 homers, 4 RBIs, 2 runs scored, and a walk. The Burnaby, British Columbia native is having the second-best year of his career as he’s batting .275 with 22 homers, 43 RBIs, and a .926 OPS across 321 plate appearances in 2024. Tyler O’Neill is batting .353 with an OPS of 1.126 over the past 15 days, meaning he’s worth a look in most DFS formats on Sunday.

Yankees vs. Red Sox Betting Prediction
Boston will send out right-hander Tanner Houck to start Sunday night’s game against the Yankees. He’s been quietly having a terrific year. Houck is 8-6 this season with a 2.71 ERA, a 1.09 WHIP, and 114 strikeouts across 123 innings of work. His peripheral numbers are good too. The St. Louis native has a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 3.9, a strikeout-per-9-innings of 8.3, and an opponent batting average of .224 this season.
Tanner Houck has already faced the Yankees this season on July 5th. In that game he completed 3.1 innings of work, allowing 3 runs (1 earned), on 2 hits and 4 walks. He struck out 1 batter in a 5-3 Red Sox win. A rain delay shortened Houck’s day back then, but I like his chances to pitch deep into the game on Sunday. Tanner Houck has already tossed 14 quality starts this season (at least 6 innings pitched, allowing 3 or fewer earned runs) and I think he throws another one here. I’m taking the Red Sox on the money line at home against the Yankees on Sunday Night Baseball.
