Odds to win the American and National League via DraftKings Wild Card Series Predictions Boston Red Sox (-160) vs New York Yankees (+130) We couldn't have asked for a better AL Wild Card matchup than the Red Sox and Yankees! New York and Boston meet in the postseason for the seventh time, including their third matchup in the Wild Card Series (2021, 2025). Last year, New York beat Boston 2-1 and Cam Schlittler turned in a start for the ages striking out 12 in Game 3. Schlittler will start Game 1, followed by Max Fried , then Gerrit Cole . The starting pitchers for the series are as follows:
I think this series shapes up to be the best as bitter rivals duke it out back to back years. I think the Red Sox win this year and the absence of Aaron Judge can't be overcome by the Yankees trio of Schlittler, Fried, and Cole. Payton Tolle and Sonny Gray will give the Yankees offense all it can handle. Ben Rice hit .222 in the postseason last year, Cody Bellinger hit .214, and Jazz Chisholm batted .182. I will take my shot on the Red Sox to get revenge from last season.
