The Yankees are defined as a hot-and-cold team. Thus far in 2026, the Red Sox have been colder than anything else. The Yankees look to complete a sweep at Fenway Park on Thursday when Cam Schlitter goes up against Payton Tolle, who is 0-1 with 6.06 ERA in seven appearances, three of them starts.
Given that Schlitter is 2-1 with a 1.95 ERA, the Red Sox are going to need all the help they can get on the mound. The Red Sox are in last place in the AL East and six games behind New York coming in. They don’t want to lose touch with the Yankees this early. MLB odds have the Yankees at -146 and Red Sox at +131.
