The Boston Red Sox visit the New York Yankees on Tuesday, September 29, 2026. Boston holds an 87-75 record, while New York is ahead at 93-68. The Yankees have the better season performance, which is reflected in the betting odds.
Looking at the spread, the Red Sox are +1.5 runs with odds of -190. This means you’d need to risk $190 to win $100 if you bet on Boston to either win outright or lose by just one run. The Yankees are favored at -1.5 runs with odds of +156, so a $100 bet here pays $156 if New York wins by two or more runs. The spread suggests the Yankees are expected to win by a small margin, but the payout for backing them on the spread is attractive.
On the moneyline, Boston is the underdog at +120, so a $100 bet would return $120 if they win outright. The Yankees are favorites at -145, meaning you need to wager $145 to win $100 on a Yankees straight-up victory. This aligns with the teams' records – New York is the stronger team, but Boston has a chance to pull off an upset.
The total runs line is set at 6.5, with even odds on the over (100) and slight favor for the under at -120. This implies a moderately low-scoring game is expected, and the under is a bit safer from a betting perspective.
Overall, if you believe the Yankees will win comfortably, the +156 spread payout is tempting. For a safer play, the under 6.5 runs looks reasonable given the odds and teams involved.
