Normally, the matchups between the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees come in some sort of David vs. Goliath form (based on each’s long-standing history). For this specific late-June matchup in 2018, it is instead Goliath vs. Goliath and it is going to be a whole lot of primetime fun.
Both teams enter Friday night 6-4 over their last 10 games and are looking to create some space in a crowded American League East. The Yankees are coming off a recent loss to the Philadelphia Phillies while the Red Sox are riding a three-game winning streak.
