On Tuesday, October 5, 2021 at 8:08 PM EDT, the Boston Red Sox face the New York Yankees. The game is airing exclusively on ESPN, which you can stream with a Live TV Streaming Service.

Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees

In Boston, New York, and Nationally, the game is streaming on ESPN, which is available with a 7-Day Free Trial of Hulu Live TV. ESPN is also available on fuboTV, DIRECTV STREAM, Sling TV, and YouTube TV.

Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees Preview

The AL Wild Card is a one-game, winner-take-all game that will decide who the fourth team is in the AL playoff picture. The winner of Yankees-Red Sox will play the Tampa Bay Rays, who enter as the number one seed in the AL. The winner of that match will face the winner of White Sox/Astros for a spot in the World Series. Currently, the Yankees are slight road favorites at -125 on the moneyline, while the Sox sit at +105 as a home dog (lines provided by DraftKings Sportsbook.)

After an up-and-down season, the Yankees find themselves in a situation to prove the doubters wrong and make a run for World Series title number 28. Their high-powered hitting duo of Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton are peaking at a perfect time, which could spell disaster for the Sox Tuesday night.

However, Boston isn’t here by accident — they’ve been a strong team throughout the season but come into the Wild Card in a bad way. While they completed a series sweep of the Nationals at the end of the season, they were just swept by the Yankees at home two weeks ago. For Boston to pull through, they’ll need to rely on the bat Kyle Schwarber now that DH J.D. Martinez’s availability for the game is in doubt following an ankle injury sustained while celebrating.
