Summary

As the postseason approaches, the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox are strongly positioned to face each other in a Wild Card Series. These two teams are widely regarded as the strongest in the American League, with many anticipating that the victor of their series will have a clear path to representing the league in the World Series.
The Red Sox are expected to welcome back pitcher Tanner Houck, who has been sidelined with an injury. Houck's past performance against the Yankees is notable, featuring a 2.38 ERA over 14 career games. Additionally, he has a solid record in games played at Yankee Stadium. Despite being sidelined for much of the season and having a less impressive ERA prior to his injury last year, Houck is trusted to contribute effectively when he returns.
