Yankees vs Red Sox 7/7/22 Preview, Bombers Looking To Pile on AL East Lead

Its RIVALRY time, Yankees in Boston.

A once fierce as it gets rivalry that seems to be lacking in a major way in recent years. So how does this 4 game set go? The offense mounted on The Pirates to get a slit of a 2 game set, The Yankees are coming in on a high note. The Redsox are riding a 2 game losing streak and are struggling over their last 12 games in the roughest part of their schedule.

The Yankees who are 14 games ahead of the Redsox in the AL East are throwing ACE RHP Gerrit Cole on the mound with his 7-2 record and 2.99 ERA. Also his MLB leading 117 K’s.

The Redsox are throwing young SP RHP Josh Winckowski who is 3-2 with a 3.12 ERA. Has just 19 K’s to 7 walks in just 5 starts. This will be the Yankees 1st time ever facing him. He’s allowed just one Home Run on the year in those 5 starts.

The Yankees need to come out confidently and take an early lead to make a statement. The Redsox have been among the league’s worst teams at coming back.

Emotions will be high. Will the Yankees AL East lead grow this weekend?
