The Boston Red Sox look to extend their seven-game win streak in a potential Wild Card preview versus the New York Yankees. To do so, the Sox will have to defeat Cy Young hopeful Gerrit Cole (15-8, 3.03 ERA).
Boston will kick-off their final regular-season series at Fenway with their playoff hopes on the line. The Red Sox currently hold a two-game lead over the Yankees. To control their own destiny, the Sox will need to win the series. A Yankees sweep would give them the top Wild Card spot. Losing two of three would create a tie (the Red Sox have secured the season series win so a tie would go to Boston).
