This is Game 1 of the AL Wild Card Series at Yankee Stadium, with New York throwing Cam Schlittler against a Boston starter the Red Sox hadn't announced heading into the weekend. The Yankees hold home field as the higher seed and took the season series 7-6, including a 16-1 dismantling in August, which supports the price favoring New York. The complication sitting under the line is Aaron Judge's right calf strain, with reports he could miss the round entirely, and a Yankees lineup without Judge is a materially different trade. Boston's rotation uncertainty cuts against them, so the value hinges on how much the market has already docked New York for Judge.
