Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 08/23/25

The New York Yankees were left scratching their heads Friday night after being blanked 1-0 by the Red Sox. On Saturday afternoon, Boston will look to clinch an early series win by sending left-hander Garrett Crochet to the mound. On the season, Crochet owns a 13-5 record with a 2.43 ERA and 1.07 WHIP. Crochet has already faced the Yankees twice this season, going 1-0 with a 3.77 ERA.

For the Yankees, Will Warren will get the start, entering with a 7-5 record and a 4.25 ERA. The last time he faced Boston was back on June 6th, where he picked up the win, allowing four earned runs on three hits through 5.1 innings pitched. That game also happens to be the Yankees only victory against the Red Sox this season. Boston has taken seven out of the eight games played this season, which is a stat you don’t want to see against your division rival. The Red Sox have managed to find ways to win, and on Saturday, Crochet will have his shot to put his team in a position to pick up another victory. Despite Warren pitching well for the Yankees in his last few starts, I think this Red Sox lineup will be a little too much for him to handle and Boston will walk away with a another victory in the Bronx.
