With their season on the line, the Yankees will turn to Carlos Rodon (18-9, 3.09 ERA), while the Red Sox counter with Brayan Bello (11-9, 3.35 ERA). If New York loses, they will be eliminated from the postseason, so while Rodon is getting the start, manager Aaron Boone will likely try to pull out all the stops if the Yankees are down.
Rodon faced Boston three times during the regular season. Over 15.2 innings, he allowed 11 hits and 10 earned runs, while striking out 12 and walking 13. During the regular season, Boston faced a left-handed pitcher in 159 games. In 1,593 at-bats, the team registered a .258 average with 51 home runs against southpaws.

Bello took on New York three times during the regular season, and Boston went 2-1 in those games. He pitched 19 innings, allowing four earned runs on 11 hits. Bello struck out 19 Yankees batters in his three starts. New York had seven hits in the Game 1 loss, but three of them came in the bottom of the ninth inning. If the Yankees want to remain in the postseason, they will have to get to Bello early and often.
