We are back for Sunday Night Baseball and this week it features a classic rivalry. The New York Yankees host the Boston Red Sox to end our week with some nationally televised baseball at Yankee Stadium.
Devers and the Red Sox look to take this series from the Yankees tonight
We are in for a classic on Sunday Night. Not only is this a perfect rivalry for the sport of baseball, but these two teams are battling to win the series in the finale. The Yankees successfully took down the Red Sox on Friday Night, winning 9-6. New York was up 8-1 after five innings, and the Red Sox had a late push but it was not enough to come out on top.
However, the next day they got their revenge, beating the Yankees 10-7 on the road. The Red Sox found themselves ahead 8-3 after their at bat in the 4th inning, and added two more runs in the 9th to seal the deal. Now they go head to head with bragging rights and the series on the line.
Matchup Information – Red Sox vs. Yankees
Venue & Location: Yankee Stadium (Bronx, NY)
Date: Sunday, June 8, 2025
First Pitch: 7:10 p.m. Eastern
Broadcast: ESPN
Pitching Matchup
Boston Red Sox: Hunter Dobbins (2-1, 4.06 ERA, 1.33 WHIP)
New York Yankees: Carlos Rodon (8-3, 2.49 ERA, 0.93 WHIP)
Dobbins and Rodon hit the bumps for their team. Lucky for the Red Sox, they light up lefties. Boston sees their team batting average leap from .254 to .275 when facing LHP. That is a HUGE jump. They do take a hefty step back on the road, but Rodon has been pitching far too well for my liking.
He's allowed just two earned runs in his last four starts, after allowing 14 in his first four. Sure, he's turned it on, but the Red Sox bats are in a groove right now, and I see them staying that way. As for New York, they won't go down without a fight.
Look, it might seem too easy with these teams combined for 15 and 17 runs the past two games, but I'll stick with the thinking that the bats stay hot on national television tonight. New York scores nearly 5.5 runs per game, while Boston adds 4.83. These are the only two teams in the AL East who have scored 300+ runs so far this season, and the Red Sox have allowed over 300 as well.
Give me both offenses to light up the sky in a hitter friendly park tonight, giving both sets of fans plenty to be excited about.
