Boston Red Sox vs New York Yankees Analysis
The Boston Red Sox hope their winning streak serves as a sign of things to come and that it continues when they host the New York Yankees on Thursday at Steinbrenner Field in Tampa. Boston has achieved remarkable success so far due to their league-leading 3.1 era and 0.193 BAA. They have only allowed 34 runs. On Monday night, the Red Sox announced the absence of infielder Justin Turner due to a pitch that struck him in the face. With 67 runs scored and an on-base percentage of 0.272, Boston is on pace for another successful season.
Last year, Boston finished last in the AL East; this season they are unbeaten in 11 games with four of those being ties. The Yankees have made a strong 7-4 start to spring training and should be considered favorites again for that title in the AL East.
Aaron Judge hit his first home run this week for New York and will start out in left field to start the season. With so many talented players on the roster, there are expected to be several position battles throughout the year; Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Oswald Peraza are expected to compete for shortstop duties. So far in Spring Training for the Yankees, Rafael Ortega has two home runs and Oswaldo Cabrera seven RBI. They are fourth in runs with 73 and sixth in batting average at 0.278. However, their pitchers have struggled mightily with an ERA of 19.24, giving up 59 runs over this span.
Nick Piveta (16.2 era) for the Red Sox and Clark Schmidt (9.82 ERA) for the Yankees are likely to start on the mound this afternoon.
