The Edge

The 2.38-ERA starter gap is the dominant MLB signal, the Yankees' 8-2 ATS last-10 run confirms momentum, and -154 sits in the moderate-favorite sweet spot where the model performs best — Yankees ML is a PICK.

Key Factors

Starter ERA edge: Schlittler 2.16 vs Sandoval 4.54 — a 2.38-run gap that meets the near-automatic lean threshold (1.5+ ERA delta)
Yankees team ERA 3.24 vs Red Sox 3.47, and Yankees Opp OPS .660 vs Red Sox Opp OPS .678 — systemic pitching superiority beyond just the starter
Yankees 8-2 ATS last 10 games — running hot and the strongest recent ATS trend on the board
Yankees as home underdog ATS record 12-7 (.632) — elite cover rate in this exact role, and at -154 they are a moderate favorite in the sweet-spot EV zone
