The Boston Red Sox will continue their Wild Card matchup with the New York Yankees on Wednesday. The Red Sox rallied late in Game 1 and escaped a hairy ninth-inning situation to secure a 3-1 victory on the road. The Yankees now face elimination in front of their home fans against their most hated rival. A loss would do indescribable damage to New York's franchise, while a win only stands to give them a chance at victory in the series finale.
The Red Sox will trust starter Brayan Bello to try to put the Yankees away on Wednesday. Bello has been one of the best pitchers on the team, posting a 3.35 ERA and a 1.24 WHIP over 29 appearances this season. Three of those starts came against New York, and the righty largely produced excellent results. Two starts resulted in seven scoreless innings for Bello, while the third saw the Yankees take home a victory after scoring four runs in five frames. He has been largely successful against New York, and a typical outing from Bello might end the Yankees' season if the Boston bats can supply some better offense than they did in Game 1.
The Red Sox will face their second left-handed starter in a row when Carlos Rodon takes the bump. While not quite as successful as Max Fried, Rodon has been nearly equal in quality, earning a 3.09 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP in 33 starts. He has struggled in his previous games against the Red Sox, but there is no room for error in this start. A bad start would likely mean the end of New York's season, a season-ender that would be one of the most disappointing in Yankees history.

Red Sox vs Yankees Prediction and Pick
While it is hard to envision the Yankees losing two straight games at home to drop a playoff series, the Red Sox are getting a great price in this game. They have a pitcher who has been excellent against the Yankees, and the offense has seen much more success than most other teams against Rodon. There is just no way that Boston should be such a big underdog here, even though they are playing on the road. Take the Red Sox to win another close one and eliminate their rivals.
