After our focus on NFL in the past month and the first 4 rounds of football excitement we definitely made sure that when the real balling comes to the post season, we will definitely make sure that our readers have a place to come and read our MLB post season previews.
We will make sure that our content makes happy and our predictions bring money to those who follow. Lets start then.
MLB first post season game brings the both fierce rivals in this competition, New York Yankees at Boston Red Sox. This is a game in which the one who wins takes all the pundits, the losers goes home and the winner takes the AL Wild Card place and progress to the next round and battle Tampa Bay Rays.
Yankees and Red Sox both ended with an identical score 92-70 but still Red Sox took the home field advantage. They will battle in a elimination game for first time since 2004.
New York Yankees won the last 6 straight mutual games including 2 sweeps. Analysing this game about missing players and injuries is pointless in this kind of games so according to us there is no need to waste time analyzing the game with who plays and whos not. Lets focus on the pitchers.
Yankees made Gerrit Cole the highest paid pitcher in baseballs history signing him on a nine-year, $324 million contract with New York in December 2019. Since then he is 23-11 with a 3.11 ERA and a 1.03 WHIP in his 42 starts with the team. But when he plays Red Sox He is 2-2 with a 4.91 ERA in 22 innings of work, and he has given up five home runs to Boston.
Boston will send their pitching leader in all categories during the season, Nathan Eovaldi who is familiar enough to the Yanks. In his 4 battles in 2021, he is 2-2 with a 2-2 record and a 3.71 ERA over 34 innings.
Prediction:
It is very hard to predict this kind of games, and its even harder to predict when Yankees and Red Sox play anytime, but we still favor the Yankees and our prediction is that the Yankees will go far this season.
