Watch New York Yankees Vs. Boston Red Sox ALDS Game One Live Stream: Start Time, Preview, Rivalry Returns
The best rivalry in baseball, the New York Yankees vs. Boston Red Sox, comes to the Major League Baseball postseason for only the fourth time ever — and first time since 2004 when the Red Sox became the first and to this day only team ever to overcome a 3-0 deficit to win a seven-game postseason series, as the MLB site recounts — when the 100-win Yankees storm into Fenway Park to take on the 108-win Red Sox in Game One of the American League Division Series, a game that will live stream from Boston.
The 2018 season also marked the first ever in which both the Red Sox and Yankees won 100 games in the same year, and the first time two 100-win teams have met in a Division series since the expanded playoff format was first played in 1995, according to the New York Times. The two AL East rivals have never met in a best-of-five postseason series.
In 1999, 2003, and 2004, the Yankees and Red Sox squared off the best-of-seven AL Championship Series, per Baseball Reference data. The Yankees won a five-game decision in ’99 and a comeback, seven-game victory in 2003. But in 2004, after the Yankees won the first three games of the ALCS, the Red Sox roared back and won the series in seven games.
