Game Thread: Wildcard game: Yankees at Red Sox 808 PM EST

[Cyder]

Gardner was under .200 at the start of August. So 225 is actually pretty damn good.

Yeah, he's at 222 now so he's been a bit better. Still sees a lot of pitches

It will come down to a HR in the 9th....

I've yet to run into any Yankee or Sox fans that are confident about this game.

Yup, wouldn't bet a nickle on tonight's game but still hopeful.

Then they get nocked out in the next series.

Let's look at the starters' last five..

Cole: 26.1 IP - 33 H - 19 R - 18 ER - 9 BB - 28 K - 6.15 ERA

Eovaldi: 32 IP - 32 H - 15 R - 14 ER - 9 BB - 41 K - 3.93 ERA... (9/24 vs NY - 2.2 IP - 7 ER)

On paper it looks good but I fear the Sox can screw it up.
