The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox have become the best two teams in baseball. Both teams are loaded on offense, can pitch and have the postseason in their sights.
It’s an exciting time in baseball, depending on who you are. If you absolutely love the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox rivalry, then the upcoming three-game series is must-watch television.
On the other hand, if you can’t stand either of the teams, then it’s small news.
Well, I’m here to tell you one thing; this is going to be the best series of 2018 so far. You have arguably the best teams in baseball going at it for the rights to the top of the American League East standings.
The Red Sox, who started off the season 17-2, now sit at 25-9. Mookie Betts has looked like a Most Valuable Player candidate, while Chris Sale has looked unhittable.
On the flip side, you have the red-hot New York Yankees. The team recently completed an extremely impressive stretch of games. In its last 18, the team has won 16 of them.
This campaign included a convincing series win over the Houston Astros, taking three of four on the road. Oh, and they swept the Cleveland Indians.
But, enough of how good each team is. Let’s take a look at how they stack up in all the areas that matter.
