In the final game of their first series this season, the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox square-off in the rubber match on Sunday at Fenway Park.

They’ll finish the three-game series on Sunday night in what will be the rubber match of the series. The Yankees (50-23) have the best record in the Majors, while the Red Sox (36-35) have hovered around the .500 mark the entire season. Who will take the first series of the season?

It hasn’t been close in either game, so we’ll see if Sunday night is any different. In the first game the Yankees took control and never looked back in an 8-1 win. Alex Verdugo made his return to Fenway for the first time since being traded from the Red Sox and hit a two-run home run on the first pitch, just one of his three hits on the night.
In Game 2 it was the Red Sox who came away with an 8-4 win thanks to a plethora of hits up and down the lineup. Only two players in the starting lineup did not have a hit and Boston scored five runs in the first two innings thanks in part to five doubles during the game.
Taking the mound on Sunday will be Marcus Stroman for the Yankees and Kutter Crawford for the Red Sox. Stroman is 6-2 with a 2.82 ERA, while Crawford has a 3.47 ERA and is just 2-6 on the season. Don’t let the record fool you, Crawford should have a better record, but he has received very little run support. Aaron Judge has one career home run off of Crawford.
