The New York Yankees have the home-field advantage at Yankee Stadium against the Boston Red Sox in the three-game American League Wild Card series. New York needs only to glance at manager Aaron Boone to hear tales of the last series win over Boston. In 2004, Boone hit a legendary walk-off home run in Game 7 of the 2003 American League Championship Series (ALCS) to send the Bronx Bombers to the World Series.

Since that moment in MLB history, it’s been nothing but disappointment for New York against Boston in the playoffs. The Red Sox claimed three straight postseason series against the Yankees with wins in 2004, 2018, and 2021. New York has the opportunity to put all that recent bad history behind them by eliminating Boston from the 2025 postseason race over the next few nights.
