Yanks And Sox Round 5

 Buckley is Bacckkk!!!! Yankees begin their last home stand of the 2019 season with a showdown against hated rival Red Sox!! With the playoffs looming this 4 game series will either destroy or keep alive the RedSox wildcard hopes, while the Yanks have been the hammer of the AL east with no signs of slowing down. The Yankees come into tonight’s game with a record of 92 and 48 while the Sox come into the series with a record of 75 and 63. Over the past couple weeks the Yanks have been beating up on the teams in the basement of the American League as they look to solidify their 2nd consecutive 100 win season as well as home field advantage through out the playoffs. On the other side the Red Sox have had an up and down season as defending WS champs. Several positives coming out of Red Sox camp are Rafael Devers who is having a career year, as well as Xander Bogaerts notching his first 30 homer in season of his career. Domingo German is the scheduled starter for this evening against the Red Sox,  who knew he would be the Yankees most consistent starter with the talent their pitching staff consists of . German with 17 wins leads all of baseball with that number. While the Red Sox starting pitching seems to be up in the air, at least as far as this evenings matchup goes. Hopefully the Yanks bats remain hot and proceed to bury their biggest rival. As well as hope to silence the bats of the likes of Mookie Betts, JD Martinez and Rafael Devers.
