Once again Wells bats cleanup. At least this time his BA is over .100! However, he does still have a negative wRC+ -- that can't be easy to do!
Stanton and DJ get afternoon off.
Judge gets half afternoon off.
No Fangraphs odds on winning. So I'll put Red Sox as 52% favorites.

Leadoff double. Nothing.
First and second, no outs, strikeout, ground out, strikeout.
They are back to being the Yankees.
This week we saw the Mets grab David Stearns.
Today the Red Sox fired Chaim Bloom.
The Yankees? It'll be the same people running the show next year. Each day we see more examples of the Yankees showing how they are way out of the league.
I was just reading about Jordan Montgomery and what he's been doing his last 19 starts, and in the heat of a pennant race to boot. And in return for him the Yankees have . . . (crickets). 29 starts and, I believe, zero trips to the IL. Cashman should be fired for this bonehead play alone.
