Prop God
Slate PPD due to Yankees COVID protocols.
Each day, we are going to try and give you a quick preview of today’s main slate and any interesting betting angles that we spot. Take a peek.
Boston Red Sox at New York Yankees
Red Sox (-110), Yankees (-110)
Total: 9.5 runs
Eduardo Rodríguez (L) vs. Domingo Germán (R)
Three things to know
- This is the only game Thursday as we return from the All-Star break, as the remaining teams take the field Friday.
- Domingo Germán’s xFIP (4.44) lines up nicely with his ERA (4.39). The righty has been mediocre with 1.78 HR/9 causing him some issues.
- Eduardo Rodríguez has been far better from an advanced indicator perspective (3.37 xFIP) than his ERA (5.52) indicates, thanks to a whopping 27.0% strikeout rate.
Best bets: The books see this one as a toss-up, but if you get any juice on the Boston side, I would take it. German has been average at best lately.
