"Rodon has a 4-3 record in seven starts against the Red Sox during the regular season, including a 1-2 record this season. Boston will likely feel confident taking swings against the 32-year-old pitcher with several games with an earned run average (ERA) above five over the last two seasons. Earlier this summer, Rodon was torched for eight runs over a pair of losses to Boston on June 8 and June 14."
"Boston sends Brayan Bello to the bump looking to secure the series win for Boston. The 26-year-old starter has also faced New York three times this season, finishing with a 2-1 record against the Bronx Bombers. Bello allowed five hits and four earned runs over five innings on Sept. 13 in a loss to New York. Earlier this summer, the fourth-year MLB starter shut down New York's offense with back-to-back shutouts on June 15 and Aug. 22. He pitched seven innings and allowed three hits"
The Wild Card series places four teams in sudden-elimination play, and the Yankees lost Game 1 to the Red Sox 3-1 after an early lead. Game 2 begins at 6 p.m. ET at Yankee Stadium with Carlos Rodon starting for New York and Brayan Bello starting for Boston. Rodon is 4-3 in seven regular-season starts versus Boston but has had several outings with an ERA above five and was hit hard in two June losses. Bello is 26, 2-1 against New York this season, with both dominant shutouts and a recent five-run outing. The Yankees’ short-series fate depends heavily on Rodon’s performance.
