The Red Sox and Yankees are neck-and-neck heading into a pivotal weekend series, jostling for the top Wild Card spot in the American League, as well as a potential AL East crown.
Needless to say, there’s plenty on the line, beginning on “Friday Night Baseball” at Fenway Park.
Boston returns from a six-game West Coast swing and will hand the ball to one of its frontline starters, Lucas Giolito. The veteran has emerged as a key cog in the rotation, pitching to a 2.33 ERA in a 16-start span since mid-June.
Giolito will contend with a Yankees lineup headlined by two powerful sluggers: Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton. Judge entered play on Thursday with 44 home runs and 98 RBIs as he looks to add to his MVP case; meanwhile, Stanton just capped off one of the best months of his career with a dominant August.
If the standings hold across the final few weeks of the regular season, the two bitter rivals will meet in the Wild Card Series.
