Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees

NEW YORK (Interstat) — The American League Division Series shifts to Yankee Stadium on Wednesday for Game 2, with the Boston Red Sox looking to build on a narrow series-opening victory and the New York Yankees aiming to even the set.

First pitch is scheduled for 8:07 p.m. EDT under cloudy skies with a game-time temperature of 75 degrees forecast.

The Red Sox (89-73) stole home-field advantage with a 2-1 win on Tuesday, handing the Yankees (94-68) their first loss of this postseason. The victory continued a trend of tight contests between the historic rivals, who split their 12 regular-season meetings. Boston holds a 7-6 edge in the season series, including a 5-2 record at Yankee Stadium.

Both teams enter Wednesday’s contest with recent momentum. The Red Sox have won four of their last five games, including a series win over Detroit to close the regular season. The Yankees, meanwhile, had won seven of eight before Tuesday’s loss, finishing strong by taking series from Baltimore and Chicago.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a high-scoring affair, predicting a 7-6 Yankees victory. The teams have combined for 15 runs in their last two head-to-head games, suggesting the pitching duel from Game 1 may give way to more offensive fireworks.

The series will resume at Yankee Stadium for Game 3 on Thursday.
