In three days, one of these two teams will be alone in first place in the AL East. That would sound way more dramatic if it was late-September and not early-August, but it is what it is. The Yankees and Red Sox have identical 68-42 records, and they’ve both lined up what is essentially their three best pitchers to throw in the series. Here’s the lineup for the opener…
Derek Jeter, SS
Curtis Granderson, CF
Mark Teixeira, 1B
Robinson Cano, 2B
Nick Swisher, RF
Andruw Jones, LF
Russell Martin, C
Jorge Posada, DH
Eduardo Nunez, 3B
Bartolo Colon, SP
All three games will be national television this weekend. YES will carry this one along with MLB Network, with first pitch scheduled for a little after 7pm ET. Enjoy.
