There’s only one MLB game on the slate tonight — the single elimination Wild Card round between New York and Boston. The winner goes on the road to face the Rays in game one of the AL Division Series this Thursday.
At 92-70, the Yankees and the Red Sox had identical win-loss records in the 2021 regular season. In the season series between these two teams, Boston got the better of the Bronx Bombers, but not by much. It was 10 games to nine, with a +1 run run differential in favor of the Sox.
