Of all the teams in baseball, there are few with more history than the Red Sox and Yankees. They add another chapter today as they play each other in the opening round of the postseason. You will be the big winner today if you bet $20 on Game 1 between Boston and New York using promo code FOXNEWS350 on Fanatics Sportsbook.
The Boston Red Sox have been one of the most impressive teams in baseball for the past few months. They fired their manager early in the season, but it took another month or so for the team to fully turn around. They looked like they were going to be sellers at the trade deadline.
Thanks to a 15-game winning streak around the All-Star Break, the Red Sox vaulted back into contention. On June 24th, the team was 32-45, and they finished the season 87-75. This means they won 55 of their final 80 games. Now they take on their biggest rival in the postseason.
The New York Yankees have had a very trying year, but they’ve found plenty of ways to navigate the difficulties. Any time your star player goes down, you know it will be tough to win. The Yankees lost Aaron Judge for much of the season, and he may miss this series with a calf injury.
The team is built more on its pitching staff than anything, though. They are sending out the likely Cy Young winner to the mound to open this series. For the season, Cam Schlittler went 14-6 with a 1.95 ERA and a 0.92 WHIP. He also added 239 strikeouts, all of those numbers in the top 10 of the Majors.
