There is no bigger rivalry in baseball than that of the Boston Red Sox and the New York Yankees. In fact, there is probably no bigger rivalry in all of sports. This weekend that rivalry will be renewed once again as the Yankees travel the short distance to Boston for a three-game weekend series in Fenway Park.

Each team comes into the series with a so-so record of 9-6. Probable starting pitchers for the weekend will be: Friday – Jon Lester vs. Joba Chamberlain in a battle of the franchise futures; Saturday – Josh Beckett vs. AJ Burnett; Sunday Justin Masterson vs. Andy Pettite.

I never know what to expect when these two AL East teams face off, but generally I am never disappointed by their shootouts. I don’t expect either team to sweep this weekend’s series, nor do I expect any of the games to be blow outs – it’s just not their style.

If you’re in Boston this weekend, grab some NY Yankees tickets I know I would!
