How Many Times Have the Red Sox and Yankees Faced Each Other in the Playoffs?

In one of the most highly-anticipated American League Division Series ever, the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees are taking their rivalry to the postseason.

After ending the season with a 108-54 record, Boston won the AL East division to punch their ticket to the playoffs. The Bronx Bombers finished the season at 100-62 and beat the Oakland A's 7-2 in the AL Wild Card Game.

The Red Sox and Yankees are meeting for the fourth time in the postseason. The two also played in a Game 163 tiebreaker in 1978 to decide the AL East.
