Longtime AL East rivals help get the Saturday MLB schedule underway as the New York Yankees (48-33) and Boston Red Sox (34-46) meet again. The Red Sox have claimed the first two games of the series, but New York has Gerrit Cole on the mound as it looks to bounce back and take Game 3. This will be Cole's seventh start of the season after returning from Tommy John surgery. He's been largely effective with a 3.62 ERA, but did struggle last time out, giving up five earned runs in 4.1 innings in a loss at Detroit on Monday. Boston will counter with lefty Jake Bennett (1-3, 3.71 ERA).
First pitch from Fenway Park in Boston is set for 1:10 p.m. ET. New York is the -126 favorite (risk $126 to win $100) on the money line in the latest Yankees vs. Red Sox odds, while the over/under for total runs is 8.
