Yankees vs. Red Sox Game 2 prediction: MLB Wild Card picks, bets

Dylan Svoboda of the New York Post previews Game 2 of the MLB Wild Card series between the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox. Svoboda predicts that Yankees starting pitcher Max Fried will allow under 2.5 earned runs, citing his strong history against Boston and seven days of rest entering Wednesday's matchup.

Fried had allowed one or fewer earned runs in seven straight starts prior to his regular-season finale against the Tampa Bay Rays. The Red Sox struggled offensively in September, and key hitter Willson Contreras enters the contest dealing with a recent hand injury.
