Key Storylines
- Pitching Matchup: Dustin May is 7-9 with a 4.59 ERA this season. He takes the mound for the Red Sox tonight. May has shown resilience and has the ability to keep games competitive. He went six innings and allowed just two earned runs in his last outing against the Orioles. Carlos Rodón is 13-7 with a 3.24 ERA and he will start for the Yankees. Rodón has been the Yankees’ most reliable pitcher post-All-Star break and the Yankees are in desperate need of a good start from him here.
- Recent Team Streaks: The Red Sox have won three straight games going into this matchup and are red-hot against the Yankees this year. New York is on a three-game losing streak and are clinging to the second Wild Card spot in the American League.

Final Thoughts
The Yankees might have the starting pitching advantage going into the final game of this series. But that is the only advantage they have on their side right now. The Red Sox are playing better baseball and have all the momentum in this series. I’ll go with the Red Sox as an underdog as they should be able to finish out the sweep in the Bronx.
