BOSTON– The New York Yankees embark on their best series of divisions against the Boston Red Sox, feeling like they are tied.
They know that the Red Sox have won 108 games, more than anyone.
They know that they were far behind the Red Sox in East of Alberta.
They know the Red Sox have three aces in their rotation – Chris Sale, David Price and Rick Porcello – and two superstars in their lineup, favorites MV MV AL, Mookie Betts and J.D. Martinez.
The Yankees establish a list of ALDS for 25 men for ALDS
The Yankees also know they have won 100 games this season, playing a lot of games without a lot of stars. Aaron Judge, Didi Gregorius, Aroldis Chapman, Gleyber Torres, CC Sabathia (twice), Masahiro Tanaka, Aaron Hicks and Gary Sanchez (twice).
While the Yankees are thinking of getting angry between the best rivalries of baseball.
With all their best rifles in good health and a list that added four different decision makers in July and August – left-wing starter JA Happ, reliever Zach Britton, fighter Andrew McCracken and sensational extravagant first-baseman Luke Voit – The Yankees are facing this ALDS with the powerful Red Sox.
"I do not consider ourselves an outsider," said Dellin Betances, a member of the Yankees' relief team. "Boston has had a fantastic season, they have a great team, we respect them and they respect us as well."
The first game will be Friday night at Fenway Park.
The first launch is scheduled at 19:32.
"There are no secrets," said Alex Cora, Red Sox coach. "At the end of the day, I know it sounds boring, who cares, whoever plays better defense, runs better shots and gets hits will win the series."
As Betances has mentioned, the Red Sox respect the Yankees, who progressed Wednesday night with a 7-2 win over the Oakland Athletics in the Wild Card AL game.
"They play very well," said Cora. "They beat the sticks well, you know how I feel about them, keep the ball in the stadium, they've hit the ball out of the stadium for a while."
The Yankees have hit 267 homers this season, a new record for a major league season. Judge hit 27 times because of his seven weeks on the DL with a fractured wrist. He hit 52 last season, a record for a rookie.
The judge returned at the end of September and started the Yankees' Wild Card victory with a two-run homer in the first leg.
The Yankees also signed Aroldis Chapman and Gregorius, who scored 27 homers after being injured at the end of the season, allowing the club to advance to the playoffs with nine wins in their last 11 games.
"Obviously, for two weeks now, it's probably the first time our team has been in good health," Betances said. "So it's fun, we played good baseball and we will try to keep doing the same."
