Kenny G said the Red Sox money-line at +143 is his favorite dog on Friday because Brayan Bello has dominated New York once already this season (7 IP, 0 ER, 8 K on 6/15) and has delivered quality starts in four of his last five outings. He contrasted that with Max Fried’s current slide – seven straight shaky appearances including five innings, seven earned against St. Louis last time out – and suggested Fried could be pitching hurt. Kenny trusts Boston’s top-10 bullpen while calling the Yankees’ relief corps a playoff-level question mark. New York’s offense ranks second in runs but shows boom-bust peaks, and they are about to face a pitcher they “have struggled against.” Historical totals trends (Boston an MLB-best 34-26-1 to the over on the road; Yankees 34-26-2 to the under at home) reinforce that Boston games away from Fenway play higher scoring, but Kenny’s actionable angle is the plus-money side, projecting Boston to out-hit and out-bullpen New York on Friday night.

Eric Lindquist circled Roman Anthony’s home-run prop as a Friday dart. Max Fried owns a 200-plus expected ISO allowed to left-handed bats this year, and Lindquist noted the Boston prospect’s patience has kept him atop the order, guaranteeing plate appearances. Early Windfinder readings show the breeze shifting out of right, and Lindquist thinks books may hang a friendlier number because the matchup is left-on-left. He plans to check weather confirmation in the morning but expects Anthony’s odds to hold long enough to fire.
