The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox are ready to kick off what amounts to an end-of-regular-season postseason series on Friday night…as long as the weather allows.
Though it recently seemed like the Bombers might not hold up their end of the bargain and maintain a playoff spot entering this series — certainly not after back-to-back defeats at the hands of the Guardians — New York is two back of Boston and one game ahead of Toronto, nestled in the second Wild Card.
Lots of flip-flopping going on these days.
