Two of Major League Baseball's biggest blood rivals -- the New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox -- will begin their best-of-three American League Wild Card Series on Tuesday. The 94-68 Yankees, by virtue of finishing ahead of the Red Sox in the standings, will have home-field advantage throughout the series. The 89-73 Red Sox, meantime, occupy the second wild card spot in the AL and are the No. 5 seed in that half of the postseason bracket.
The winner of this series will advance to the Divisional Round, where they'll play against the Blue Jays , the No. 1 seed in the AL and their other division rival.
