Featured Game | Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees
Why you should back the Red Sox
Left fielder Alex Verdugo is a terrific athlete who is able to cover a lot of ground in the outfield. Verdugo has excellent pitch recognition and can draw his fair share of walks. The 26-year-old is batting .253 with six home runs and 43 RBIs. On July 4, he went 1-for-4 with a single.
Second baseman Trevor Story is an outstanding hitter with the hips and bat speed to quickly turn on a pitch. Story has displayed power and has the ability to drive in runs. The two-time All-Star has belted 15 home runs and 55 RBIs. In his last matchup, Story hammered a solo home run.
Why you should back the Yankees
New York’s lineup is anchored by two of the best power hitters in the game. Outfielder Aaron Judge is having an MVP-caliber season thus far. Judge places fear in opposing pitchers once he steps into the batting box due to his absurd plate coverage and strength. The four-time All-Star also has a cannon of an arm from the outfield. Judge is first in the MLB in home runs (30), fourth in RBIs (64) and fifth in OPS (.979).
Designated hitter Giancarlo Stanton is another big-time bat in the lineup for New York. Stanton has light-tower power with great run-producing abilities. The five-time All-Star has the versatility to play either corner outfield spot. Stanton is currently tied for eighth in homers (21) and tied for 14th in runs driven in (54).
