After successful as -155 favorites with Gerrit Cole on the mound on Tuesday night time, the New York Yankees test into Wednesday’s tilt with the Boston Pink Sox at a barely cheaper worth, at the moment sitting at -130 with Nestor Cortes on the mound in opposition to rookie Brayan Bello.

Yankees vs. Pink Sox prediction (7:10 p.m. ET, YES/NESN)

Bello’s lack of management will inflate his pitch rely, and with Boston nicely exterior the playoff chase the Sox will deal with Bello with care. Which means we are able to count on Alex Cora to depend on his bullpen, which ought to be fairly taxed after they went 5 deep within the collection opener. 

There's good to Bello’s statline — his 3.95 xFIP is sort of two runs decrease than his 5.79 ERA and he sports activities a 58% groundball price — however this can be a robust matchup contemplating his type.

Whereas not precisely a mismatch, Nestor Cortes is actually the extra confirmed commodity on this matchup, even when he’s due for a bit of little bit of unfavourable regression. Cortes enters Wednesday night time with a 2.73 ERA and 0.95 WHIP in 135 innings of labor this season, however his 3.75 xFIP does recommend he's a bit of lucky to boast such a glowing statline.

Nonetheless, Cortes ranks within the ninetieth percentile, league-wide in xERA and xwOBA, and his batted ball knowledge all checks out. You may poke holes in Cortes’ stats, however they’re not huge holes.

With Anthony Rizzo, DJ LeMahieu, Matt Carpenter and Andrew Benintendi all on the injured record, the Yankees lineup does lack depth, however this pitching matchup ought to swimsuit them. Lay the juice with the highway group on Wednesday night time.
