Series Preview: Boston Red Sox at New York Yankees
Briefly

The much-anticipated Red Sox vs. Yankees rivalry resumes this weekend in the Bronx, with a second matchup set for next weekend at Fenway Park. The Yankees are performing strongly, bolstering a five-game division lead, while the Red Sox are sliding towards the bottom of the standings. There are glimmers of hope for the Red Sox, particularly with pitcher Walker Buehler's previous outings suggesting competitiveness. Meanwhile, the performance of pitcher Ryan Yarbrough, now a starter, raises questions about its sustainability. As both teams meet, questions of momentum and the potential for surprises loom large.
This weekend the clubs battle in the Bronx and next weekend at Fenway Park. It’s definitely been a tale of two seasons for the division rivals.
But that doesn't mean this is a series that the Sox are destined to lose either. Looking at the way the Angels games played out, Boston would have swept or won two games if they had been just a tiny bit better.
Considering Walker Buehler’s past solid starts and Will Warren's recent struggles, the matchups suggest potential for an exciting competitiveness from the Red Sox.
Crochet Day is Saturday night. Ryan Yarbrough? Seriously? He's had an eight-year career of being OK. Now he's suddenly a starter and not a reliever and only gives up one run a game?
