Sitting atop the division, the Yankees arrive with revenge on their mind after dropping two of three to Boston in the Bronx just last week. While they hold a four-game cushion over the Blue Jays and a nine-game lead on the fourth-placed Red Sox, the Yanks will be playing at a rest disadvantage, wrapping up a series finale in Kansas City on Thursday. In that one, Aaron Judge stayed hot, smashing his third home run in as many games to help seal a 6-3 win.

Meanwhile, Boston will look to keep climbing the standings, and what better way than by toppling the division leaders on home turf? The Sox have won four of their last five, including a pair of victories over the Yankees in New York before edging the Rays in a home series. In their latest outing, Jarren Duran set the tone early with a leadoff homer en route to a 4-3 triumph over Tampa Bay.
