With two untested pitchers on the mound in this win-or-go-home matchup, the best Red Sox vs. Yankees same-game parlay leans on Boston keeping things close early.

It’s do-or-die for the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees as they face off in a decisive Game 3 of their AL Wild Card series.

With both teams turning to young arms in this high-pressure matchup, my Red Sox vs. Yankees predictions give the early edge to the visitors.

Here is my best Red Sox vs. Yankees same-game parlay for Thursday, October 2. 

Red Sox vs Yankees Game 3 same-game parlay (SGP)

Despite the Boston Red Sox losing the first five innings spread in each of the first two games, they've been right there with a chance to cash today's +0.5 run ticket. Some timely hitting and good pitching will keep the Sox competitive early. 

Alex Bregman has a long track record of postseason success, and it's shown in this series. He has three hits through two games and has hit safely in each. He fared very well against fastballs and cutters this year, which is notable as Schlittler throws one of the two nearly 75% of the time vs. righties. Hitting in the 3-hole, he’s in a good spot to cash in a runner.

Giancarlo Stanton has historically performed well in the playoffs. He was very quiet in Game 1 and Game 2, but given the success he’s enjoyed against pitchers of each handedness, he should have a say tonight.

Red Sox vs Yankees SGP

  • Red Sox first five innings +0.5
  • Alex Bregman Over 0.5 RBI
  • Giancarlo Stanton Over 0.5 hits
