The Red Sox come into the series winners of seven in a row, a run that has helped them take a two-game lead in the wild-card standings over the Yankees, who hold a one-game lead for the second wild-card spot over the Blue Jays. With a sweep this weekend, Boston could come close to clinching a playoff berth.

The Yankees will look to overtake Boston for the top wild-card spot. They head to Boston after sweeping the Rangers at home in a three-game series. The wins helped them vault over the Blue Jays for the second wild-card position.

New York faces a tough schedule the rest of the way.  They will head to Toronto after the series with the Red Sox, then head home to host the AL East-leading Rays to end the season.

The Red Sox have a much easier road. After this weekend's series against New York, they will finish out the season against the Orioles and Nationals, who are in last place in their respective divisions.

The Red Sox-Yankees rivalry will offer fans a treat of a series this weekend.
