The Boston Red Sox have taken down the New York Yankees in back-to-back games, and now the Yankees need to win on both Saturday and Sunday to force a series split.

The Yankees are also holding on to a slim one-game lead in the AL East, so bouncing back with a win today is imperative.

Let's breakdown the odds and my best bet for today's matinee matchup.

Yankees vs. Red Sox Best MLB Prop Bet

• Pick: Jarren Duran UNDER 0.5 Hits (+139)

Garrit Cole has dominated Jarren Duran throughout their careers. Duran has 17 at bats against him, managing just three hits and 10 strikeouts for a batting average of .176. I expect that to continue today, so betting on Durant to not record a hit at +139 seems like a great bet to place.

Yankees vs. Red Sox Prediction and Pick

In today's edition of Walk-Off Wagers, I broke down why I'm backing the Yankees to win as road favorites:

The Red Sox have been great offensively when facing left-handed pitchers this season, ranking inside the top 10 in almost every metric. Their issues start to arise when they face a right-handed pitcher. In fact, they're dead last amongst all teams in wRC+ when facing righties, while also sporting a .677 OPS against them.

They have a tough rightie this afternoon in Gerrit Cole, who has held this Red Sox lineup to an OPS of just .589 throughout his career.

The Yankees are in a great spot as road favorites this afternoon.

Pick: Yankees -125 via Caesars
