We’re not even 20 games into the season, and the Yankees come into this series with their archrivals with a chance to stomp on the Red Sox. Boston has already slipped in the AL East standings, and with their record at 6-13, they’re in real danger of missing the expanded 16-team playoff tournament.
The Yankees will host the Red Sox for four games at Yankee Stadium, and a series win would put another dent in Boston’s flagging hopes. The Red Sox haven’t officially announced their full complement of starters for the series yet, so I will do my best to project their starters for each particular day.
