The Red Sox have endured a disappointing first half of the season, but the one bright spot is that they’ve had their bitter rival’s number. The Sox defeated the Yankees, 2-1, in 10 innings Friday night, giving them their third win in four tries against the Bombers this season.

According to FanGraphs the Red Sox have a 20.7% chance of making the playoffs right now. They have a 34-36 record. They are 9.0 games behind the Yankees in the AL East and 3.0 games out of a Wild Card.

Dobbins allowed two home runs last time out against the New York Yankees, something that’s unsurprising given his brutal .459 expected slugging and the Bronx Bombers' excellent .806 OPS versus ground-ballers, which ranks second in the bigs.
