Wild Card series between Yankees and Red Sox resulting in best case scenario for the Blue Jays

"Game one saw Boston ace, Garrett Crochet, dominate Yankees hitters, allowing just one run on four hits across seven and two-thirds innings, before Aroldis Chapman shut the door with a four-out save. The Yankees' pitching staff didn't quite have the same experience. After starter Max Fried tossed six and a third clean innings, it took five relievers to record the final eight outs, allowing three runs while doing so."

"Last night, the Red Sox didn't get anything close to the performance they'd gotten the game before, as starter Brayan Bello lasted just two and a third innings while allowing two runs on 28 pitches. The final six and two-thirds innings of the game saw Boston use six relievers, including a 47-pitch outing from setup man Garrett Whitlock. While the Yankees won game two, it wasn't an ideal night for their pitching staff either,"

The Toronto Blue Jays await the ALDS while the Yankees and Red Sox battle in the Wild Card Series. Both teams have heavily used their bullpens across the first two games, creating possible advantages for the Blue Jays once the series reaches Toronto. Game 1 featured Garrett Crochet allowing one run over seven and two-thirds innings before Aroldis Chapman closed with a four-out save, while the Yankees relied on five relievers to finish after Max Fried. Game 2 saw Brayan Bello last just two and a third innings, Boston use six relievers including a 47-pitch outing from Garrett Whitlock, and the Yankees again use multiple key relievers.
