Why you should back the Yankees
The Yankees enter Tuesday's doubleheader on a three-game winning streak and are now 20-9 since the 2021 MLB All-Star break. That helped pull them to within 1.5 games of the last AL Wild Card spot, two games of the Red Sox and 5.5 games of the division-leading Rays.
Aaron Judge has been carrying the offense of late, recording six multi-hit contests in his last nine games while blasting four home runs and driving in 12 during that span. His OPS has raised from .866 to .906 in that time, and he now has 26 home runs with 63 RBIs.
Why you should back the Red Sox
Boston enters Tuesday having won four of its last five games and the offense is absolutely blistering during that span. Spurned on by 20 runs in a win over the Rays on Aug. 11 and then 16 runs in a win over the Orioles on Aug. 14, the Red Sox have scored 51 times in their last five games and have had at least six runs in all four wins.
The lineup already features seven players who have hit double-digit home runs this season and the team ranks third in the American League with a .769 team OPS. J.D. Martinez has homered in his last two games and has now driven in 11 runs in his last six games. Meanwhile, Xander Bogaerts is 10-for-22 lifetime off Montgomery.
