The Boston Red Sox (31-35) meet the New York Yankees (39-24) at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx for Game 3 in the June 2025 weekend series. The dominant Yankees are leading the AL East by 4.5 games due to Aaron Judge's outrageous hitting prowess. Judge brings a 2025 MLB season-leading .390 batting average to face the mangled Red Sox rotation, which has struggled to stay healthy and provide depth at the mound.

The Red Sox, lacking a pitching core and only producing two players batting over .300, face an emboldened rival with outstanding hitting stats. 

For Game 3 on Sunday, June 8, 2025, the Yankees' formidable left-handed starter Carlos Rodón (2.49 ERA) will take the mound opposite the Red Sox's struggling right-handed starter, Hunter Dobbins (4.06 ERA). The current weekend matchup is tied 1-1, with the winner today taking the series.

Key Players to Watch on the Boston Red Sox

Rafael Devers: Devers has driven in a team-high 56 runs while sporting a .407 OBP, making him Boston’s most reliable run producer, although he falls short with only 13 home runs and a .283 batting average.

Alex Bregman: Bregman is the closest to batting over .300, balancing contact and power with a .299 average and .553 slugging, adding 11 homers and a 3.0 WAR spark.

Hunter Dobbins: Unfortunately, the Red Sox starting pitcher tonight has a mediocre 2-1 record with a 4.06 ERA. The Yankees will tee off on him tonight.

Key Players to Watch on the New York Yankees

Aaron Judge: Judge is delivering 2025 MLB MVP-level numbers, carrying the NYY's offense deep into the outfield with a .390 AVG, 21 HR, 51 RBI, and a staggering 1.233 OPS.

Paul Goldschmidt: The veteran first baseman adds consistency and depth to the Yankees' heavy-hitting offense, batting .313 with a .369 OBP and 73 hits.

Carlos Rodón: The Yankees’ ace owns an 8-3 record with a 2.49 ERA and 98 strikeouts in 79.2 IP — and he's going to cook against a Red Sox offense that's been very hit-or-miss.

Who’s Winning the Red Sox vs. Yankees Series?

The New York Yankees have outstanding batting stats and incredible pitching. Meanwhile, the Red Sox hope to make it through the 2025 MLB season without another surgery; the Yankees will take this regular-season series matchup. The Sox are relying too heavily on their bullpen due to a mangled rotation, and their starter has too high of an ERA (4.06).
