The Story
The New York Yankees routed the Boston Red Sox 14-4 at Yankee Stadium on July 6, 2024, a game the DiamondIQ model entered favoring the home side at 61% and closed at 100% as New York methodically dismantled Boston's pitching across several decisive innings.
The game's first major swing came in the bottom of the third, when Alex Verdugo drove a home run off Josh Winckowski, a play the DiamondIQ model credited with a +18.7% win-probability shift. Boston briefly responded in the top of the fifth, as Rafael Devers hit a home run off Gerrit Cole that added +12.7% in win probability from the Red Sox perspective and kept the game within reach at that moment. The Yankees answered with a seven-run fifth inning that effectively ended the contest. Anthony Volpe's double off Greg Weissert added +16.8%, Austin Wells drew a walk from the same pitcher adding +13.3%, and Ben Rice followed with a home run off Chase Anderson worth +11.1%, a sequence that buried any realistic path to a Boston comeback. New York added four more in the seventh to set the final margin.
Among individual performers, Verdugo finished as the game's second-highest WPA contributor at +20.2% with a RE24 of +1.4, while Devers led all batters at +21.1% WPA and +1.5 RE24 despite being on the losing side. Volpe rounded out the top three at +13.6% WPA. On the pitching side, Tim Hill led New York's relievers with a +4.2% WPA contribution, as the Yankees bullpen closed out the final innings without incident. New York's 14 hits against a Boston staff that allowed runs in three separate innings told the complete story of the afternoon.
