For the first time this year, the Red Sox and New York Yankees get to square off under their new managers, Alex Cora and Aaron Boone.

The two teams rank among the five slowest teams in baseball this year. Each has averaged 3 hours, 24 minutes per game. And this is after the Red Sox set the major league record last year when they averaged 3:21.
Each of the teams’ shortstops is off to a great start but only one will be in action this week.
