The AL Wild Card game brings back memories of Aaron Boone's walk-off home run in Game 7 of the 2003 ALCS, and Bucky Dent's famous home run in the 1978 tiebreaker game, but Boston has won seven of the last eight postseason games versus the Yankees. The Red Sox ended the regular season winning four of five, including a sweep at Washington while New York has lost three of its last five games while scoring only six runs in three games against Tampa Bay. Gerrit Cole gave up five runs on nine hits in six innings his last outing against Toronto on Wednesday, and he has a 4.91 ERA in four starts against Boston this year. The Red Sox have won seven of Nathan Eovaldi's last eight starts, and he pitched six shutout innings on four hits against Baltimore his last start. Boston has won eight of its last nine postseason games. The value here is on Boston to keep it close. Play the Red Sox on the runline.
