Oh, we've got ourselves a classic matchup, the Boston Red Sox versus New York Yankees. That's like choosing between chocolate and vanilla, isn't it? Tossing for Boston, we've got Walker Buehler, who's tracking an ERA of 4.55 and a WHIP of 1.34 this season, not as mouth-watering as one would like, eh? Then, we set our sights on Yankees' starting pitcher Will Warren, who's been kissing the sky with a 5.05 ERA and a 1.46 WHIP. Not exactly what dreams are made of but he's got a cannon.
Amazing talent over at Boston's camp. Carlos Narvaez boasts a .368 batting average with 9 RBIs, and then there's Rafael Devers, batting .330 with a staggering 31 RBIs. Meanwhile, Wilyer Abreu's 6 home run count makes a pretty picture despite his .217 batting average.
Oh, and let's get serious about the Yankees. Aaron Judge, batting a solid .362 with 10 home runs, is having a field day. And there's Cody Bellinger, batting .326 with 5 home runs to his name. Don't let that smile fool you, he can swing!
When looking back, these two seem to like dancing together. The Yankees took home the win, last 4 out of 5 showdowns. The Red Sox are trailing behind this season, with a lamentable 30-34 record, while the Yankees, reviving the glory days, sit on a 38-23.
Recent performances tell a similar tale. The Red Sox seem stuck in a bit of an up-and-down yo-yo, while the Yankees are looking fairly steady, save for that one blip against Cleveland.
Playing at Yankee Stadium may very well be the Pandora's box for Boston. It's not exactly a vacation spot for pitchers, and Boston's Walker Buehler may find himself in a bit of a pickle.
