Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story drove in half of his team’s runs in their 10-7 win over the Yankees on Saturday night. In that game, the 32-year-old right-handed hitter went 3 for 5 with a double, 5 RBIs, and a run scored. For the season, Story is hitting .222 with 7 homers, 31 RBIs, 9 steals, and an OPS of .599 in 239 at-bats.

New York Yankees DFS Spin
Yankees catcher Austin Wells knocked in most of his team’s runs in their 10-7 loss to the Red Sox on Saturday. Hitting out of the #7 spot in the batting order, the Scottsdale, AZ, native went 2 for 4 with a double, a homer, 4 RBIs, and a run scored. Wells is hitting .222 with 10 homers, 36 RBIs, 3 steals, and an OPS of .744 in 180 at-bats this year. The 25-year-old left-handed hitter is batting .320 with an OPS of .993 over his last 7 games.

Red Sox vs. Yankees Betting Prediction
I like the Red Sox in this matchup. Boston has scored at least 6 runs in 3 straight games, and the Red Sox have gone 2-1 straight up in that span. Additionally, Boston will start rookie right-hander Hunter Dobbins in this contest. The Bryan, TX, native has extreme day/night splits in 2025.
In day games, Dobbins is 0-1 with an ERA of 7.11 and a 1.67 strikeout-to-walk ratio. In night games, Hunter Dobbins is 2-0 with a 2.84 ERA and a 6.75 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Those numbers aren’t due to sample size either, as Hunter Dobbins has tossed 12.2 innings in day games and 31.2 innings in night games this year. It might seem like a lot to ask from a 25-year-old rookie, but I think Boston’s Hunter Dobbins pitches well enough to keep his squad in the game. The pick is Boston +180 on the money line over New York at Bovada.lv.
