Boston Red Sox pitcher tonight: Nathan Eovaldi
The Red Sox right-hander has produced the third-most bWAR (4.6) of any Boston player this season. His 3.75 ERA, 2.79 FIP, and 126 ERA+ paced the Boston rotation in 2021 (minimum 15 starts).
This will be the seventh time that Eovaldi has gone against the Yankees this season. In the first five meetings, he allowed two earned runs or less. However, in his last start on September 24 against the Yankees in Boston, New York pinned seven runs and seven hits on him in 2.2 innings.
New York Yankees pitcher tonight: Gerrit Cole
In that game where the Yankees bombed Eovaldi on September 24, Cole was on the opposite end, allowing three runs on five hits to earn the win, part of his American League-leading 16 victories on the year. That was part of an end to the season where Cole posted a 5.13 ERA over his last six starts. That, however, follows up on an August where, in three starts, he allowed just one earned run in 17.2 innings.
This will be Cole’s fifth start of the season against the Red Sox, compiling a 4.91 ERA and 1.50 WHIP in his previous outings against Boston.
