New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox will meet in MLB Wild Card Day 1 on Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium. Despite finishing behind the Rays in the AL East, it has been a successful regular season for the Yanks, who saw the reigning AL MVP, Aaron Judge, play only seven games since May. Giancarlo Stanton has also been out since April. Still, they managed to bag 93 wins, setting up a playoff date with a daunting division rival. The Yankees are the -143 favorites tonight.
Boston Red Sox, meanwhile, are the +115 betting underdogs tonight. The Red Sox finished the regular season in third place in the AL East, 6.5 games behind the Yankees. They began the year slowly before turning things around with a home mop against the Yankees. The Red Sox went on a mind-blowing 32-5 record between July and August, putting them back into contention. They should fancy their chances in this series, starting tonight.

Our New York Yankees vs Boston Red Sox Prediction
The starting pitchers suggest that we shouldn’t expect a big scoreboard. The Yankees will start Cam Schlittler, who boasts a 14-6 record with a 1.95 ERA. He has even been more impressive in his last nine starts, posting an ERA of 1.95. Boston will respond by starting Sonny Gray, who is 17.5 with a 2.76 ERA. He had an average of 2.37 in his last five starts, which is commendable. However, let’s mention that New York has arguably the deepest starting staff in the league, which should give them an edge. They should do just enough to win if Schlittler, Cole, and Fried turn up for the occasion. We think the total runs will stay under 6.5 in this match.
Our prediction for New York Yankees vs Boston Red Sox: New York Yankees to win.
