New York rumbled past Boston again, taking the series and tightening the race to the postseason. The Red Sox, battered by injuries including Roman Anthony’s IL stint, could not capitalize in the opener and endured a rough first inning that set the tone. Boston will lean on Garrett Crochet to salvage the finale with 13 games left in a crowded wild-card chase. Fantasy angles: value in NYY depth, risk in BOS bench depth, and late-season bullpen volatility.

Yankees head to Fenway aiming to snap an eight-of-10 skid in an AL East showdown, leaning on Aaron Judge’s monster-power at the Green Monster and a retooled outfield with Stanton and Bellinger. The bullpen must stabilize after trades and injuries, while Volpe and Caballero provide speed and on-base threat. Solving Bello and Crochet in Boston becomes the weekend’s blueprint for momentum and a pivotal wild-card push.
