Who will earn early bragging rights when the Yankees and Red Sox face off in Game 1 of the 2026 Wild Card series?
New York and Boston played in the series last year, with the Yankees taking the final two games to advance to the Division Series. New York holds a 7-6 regular-season edge over Boston this year.
Going from worst to one of the best teams in baseball this season, the Red Sox have seen success thanks to Willson Contreras, Ceddanne Rafaela, and Cy Young candidate Sonny Gray. The Yankees have Ben Rice and the Cy Young favorite, Cam Schlittler, though they figure to be missing Aaron Judge throughout this series.
