It doesn't get better than Boston Red Sox against New York Yankees. Well, that's especially true when they face off in the postseason.
This time around, it'll be in the best-of-three Wild Card Round to open the American League bracket on Tuesday.
And in such a short series, every decision is magnified.
The Red Sox named their 26-man roster and didn't have any major shocks. The key omission was veteran pitcher Lucas Giolito. But with the series not requiring more than three starting pitchers, it didn't make sense for Giolito to make the cut.
