The Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees will round off a three-game series in the Bronx on Sunday. The series is currently tied, with New York coming back to take an emphatic game 2 victory on Saturday.
Boston currently leads the series between the two by 3-2. Two of those victories came in the inaugural series between the two last month, which triggered the downhill spiral, with the Bombers winning only five games since then.
The poor run of form has resulted in the Yanks giving up their AL East to the Baltimore Orioles. The Yanks still remain in the top spot for the American League Wild Card standings and are 5.5 games ahead of the Red Sox.

Yankees vs. Red Sox: Game 3 Prediction
New York's pitching has been extremely wobbly in the last 10 games. They have a 6.14 ERA, which has resulted in a 3-7 record. On the other hand, Boston themselves gave away 14 runs on Saturday and have a 5.23 ERA to show for themselves.
Half of those 14 runs were conceded to rookie Ben Rice, who lit up the Bronx with three home runs. He has been in red-hot form in the leadoff spot. He will be followed by the dynamic duo of Juan Soto and Aaron Judge, who have shown minor signs of a slump in this series.
The Red Sox's offense has been led by Jarren Duran, who is batting .278 with 44 extra-base hits, including 10 home runs. They are currently edging out their opponents in the team batting average quota as well.
New York will start Luis Gil, who has had a disastrous last three games with a 14.90 ERA and just six strikeouts. Opposing him will be Kutter Crawford, who has a poor 4-7 record himself but has been consistent in his last three outings, registering a 3.44 ERA.
