Yanks, Sox vie for postseason on MLB.TV

With just a few weeks remaining in the 2016 regular season, the spotlight is on the American League East as a hub for compelling playoff drama. It’s not only home to the tightest division race in baseball, but also much of the Wild Card race.

Both those postseason races will be on display in Boston today as the Red Sox and Yankees continue their four-game series at Fenway Park. The Red Sox enter today’s tilt in command of the division, but the Orioles and Blue Jays are each within striking distance. The Yankees, while not out of the pennant race, are more likely to extend their season with an appearance in the AL’s Wild Card Game.

Jake Arrieta will also toe the rubber for the NL Central-champion Cubs as they turn their attention to home-field advantage in the playoffs.

And the best place to catch all the action is MLB.TV.

The Yankees have proven a consistent thorn in Price’s side since he joined the Red Sox, however. He owns a 7.79 ERA in three starts against New York this year.

“He’s on a run right now that might be the best run of his career inside not only these seven consecutive wins he’s recorded, but the second half of the season,” Red Sox manager John Farrell said. “He continues to increase his power, he’s maintained his direction through the …
