There is also something particularly interesting about the upcoming New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox Wild Card series.

Last October, Cam Schlittler was the one who ended the Red Sox’s season. This Tuesday, he will be the starting pitcher against the same opponent at Yankee Stadium. Will that give the Yankees an extra edge in the series, or could it simply become a mental battle? It could be either one, or perhaps both.
