Red Sox vs. Yankees

This season the Red Sox and Yankees had to wait until June for the first clash between the bitter rivals. The wait is much shorter in In 2022 as Boston will travel to New York in April for the Yankees home opener.

The Yankees make their first trip to Fenway in mid-July and then return in August and September. For fans looking to catch a game in enemy territory, the Red Sox head back to the Bronx for the final series before the All Star break and then again at the end of September.

vs. NYY:  (7/7-7/10), (8/12-8/14), (9/13-914)

@ NYY: (4/7-4/10), (7/15-7/17), (9/22-925)

It took seven Boston victories this season before the Yankees finally got the better of the Red Sox in 2021. The season series stands at 10-3 with nine games left to play.

Since 1969 when MLB was divided to the divisions that exist today, the most wins the Red Sox have ever tallied over the Yankees in a single season was 14 in 1973. Even the 2018 team that set the franchise record with 108 wins barely outmatched the Yankees during the regular season, winning 10 of 19 games.

Boston has owned New York in 2021 and just need to go north of .500 in their remaining games against the Yankees to topple that 1973 record.
