This is a testament to the quality of the pitching staffs of these two teams as they are both playing their hearts out and definitely are a couple of teams that know how to put some great drama into the game.

The Yankees on the playoffs really have bounced around quite a bit, but in this game the Red Sox are sending out Eovaldi who was not a strong regular season pitcher to face off against Severino. Look for Severino to be able to throw a great game here and really take control of the game for the Yankees and shut down the Red Sox offense. Final Score, New York Yankees win 5-2.
