Why you should back the Yankees
Juan Soto is an exciting playmaker on New York’s roster. Soto has strong hands that allow the ball to explode off his bat when he connects. The four-time All-Star also owns a cannon of an arm from the outfield. He’s batting .295 with 21 home runs and 63 RBI. On July 4 versus the Reds, he went 1-of-3 with a two-run homer.
Shortstop Anthony Volpe gives New York a complementary athlete who moves around with ease. Volpe has solid range as a defender but knows how to stay square at the dish. He’s hitting .253 with six home runs and 32 RBI. Additionally, Volpe has notched 16 doubles and seven triples this season. See which team to pick here.
Why you should back the Red Sox
Third baseman Rafael Devers has a natural and smooth swing. Devers plays with great timing while having the body control to push the ball into different gaps on the diamond. The two-time All-Star leads the team in batting average (.287), home runs (19), RBI (53), and OBP (.373). He’s finished with two RBI in four of his last five games.
Outfielder Jarren Duran plays well in both phases of the game. Duran has good awareness and instincts in the outfield with a solid arm. Meanwhile, he has a knack for making consistent contact at the plate. This season, he’s batting .278 with 10 home runs and 40 RBI. Duran has logged a hit in seven straight contests.
