Max Fried, starting for New York, boasts a superb record against the Red Sox (4-1, 1.93 ERA).

Boston earned their place in the postseason by finishing third in the AL East with an 87-75 record, but they entered this series in underwhelming form with six defeats in their final nine regular season games.
That poor form continued in the opener in New York, as they were shut out in a 9-0 defeat to the Yankees that has left them one loss away from elimination.

Verdict
Sonny Gray holds a win over the Yankees this season and is one of the best pitchers in baseball, but that is not enough to sway us away from New York.
They have simply dominated the Red Sox in recent meetings and their own starter, Max Fried, has a track record for stopping Boston in their tracks.
