The Yankees head home from their ten-game road trip and welcome the division basement-dwelling Red Sox to town for three games while looking to pad their 5.5 game lead a bit. Luis Severino's impending MLB debut on Wednesday is obviously the headliner of the series, but the Red Sox are throwing out a rookie starter in the first game of the series to oppose Masahiro Tanaka on the mound.
Henry Owens will make his MLB debut tonight at Yankee Stadium. His Red Sox have gone an even 5-5 over their last ten, but their pitching rotation has been in shambles all season.
