MLB – FREE PLAY: Red Sox (913) vs. Yankees (914)

I am taking the BOSOX over the EVIL EMPIRE. Nothing is better than a do-or-die game between the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees. Connelly Early will make his first postseason start after making four regular-season starts. He was 1-2 with a 2.33 ERA, a 1.086 WHIP, and 29 strikeouts in 19.1 innings. In his last three starts, he is 0-2 with a 3.14 ERA, a 1.117 WHIP, and 18 strikeouts in 14.1 innings. Cam Schlittler will make his first postseason start for the Yankees. He went 4-3 with a 2.96 ERA, a 1.219 WHIP, and 84 strikeouts in 73 innings during the regular season. In his last three starts, Schlittler is 1-0 with a 2.65 ERA, a 0.88 WHIP, and 21 strikeouts in 17 innings of work. We have two young arms making their first postseason starts. This game will come down to the bullpens, and we have already seen the Yankees’ pen blow a game. I will ride with Boston against the Evil Empire in this one.+136
