Yankees vs. Red Sox News
This series marks the eighth time that the Yankees have faced a 2-1 deficit in the ALDS. New York has rallied to force a game five in four of those situations and came back to win the series twice. The Yankees are hoping that this isn’t the last time Sabathia makes a start for them, as he is a free agent at the end of the season.
In game three, Red Sox infielder Brock Holt became the first player to ever hit for the cycle in a postseason game. Holt completed the feat with a 9th inning home run off of Yankees reliever Austin Romine. The Red Sox offense will look to stay hot against CC Sabathia in this game.
Yankees vs. Red Sox Predictions
The Yankees are not going to go down without a fight, and CC Sabathia will pitch a great game on Tuesday night. The Boston offense was terrific in game three, but they’ve been inconsistent so far in these playoffs. This series is too good to not go the distance, and the Yankees will push the series back to Boston for a game five. Bet the New York Yankees -124 over the Boston Red Sox.
