Boston Red Sox DFS Spin
Red Sox third baseman Rafael Devers had a big day at the plate in his team’s 14-4 loss to the Yankees on Saturday. In that game, the left-handed hitter went 2 for 4 with a homer, 2 RBIs, 2 runs scored, and a stolen base. Devers is having another fine season as he’s batting .287 with 19 homers, 53 RBIs, and an OPS of .943 in 2024. Devers is hitting .304 with an OPS of 1.044 against right-handed pitching this season, so you can safely deploy him in DFS against Yankees righty Luis Gil on Sunday.
New York Yankees DFS Spin
Yankees first baseman Ben Rice had a day to remember on Saturday. In New York’s 14-4 win, Rice became the first Yankees rookie to hit 3 home runs in a game. Hitting out of the leadoff spot, Rice went 3 for 5 with 3 homers, 7 RBIs, and 3 runs scored. He’s hitting .294 with an OPS of .972 this season in 60 plate appearances. Rice is slashing .360/.448/.960 in his last 7 games, making him worth a flier in the majority of DFS formats on Sunday.

Red Sox vs. Yankees Betting Prediction
I’m not sure that New York solved all of their problems because they were able to tee off on a mediocre Boston bullpen on Saturday. The Yankees still have a record of 6-15 straight up since June 13th. The Bronx Bombers will also face Red Sox righty Kutter Crawford on Sunday night. Crawford is 4-7 this season with an ERA of 3.47 and a WHIP of 1.10. He’s posted 102 strikeouts in 98.2 innings of work and has logged a strikeout-to-walk ratio of 3.6 this year. Crawford threw a quality start and got the win against the Yankees on June 16th. What’s more, current active New York hitters are slashing just .132/.193/.321 against him in their careers. I like Crawford’s chances to beat the Yankees again on Sunday, so I’m backing the Red Sox in the Bronx on the money line on Sunday Night Baseball.
