"New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone is going to play the matchups on Tuesday night in Game 1 of the American League Wild Card Series against the Boston Red Sox and lefty ace Garrett Crochet. The skipper has already confirmed that left-handed bats Ben Rice and Jazz Chisholm Jr. will start the postseason on the bench, making way for righties Paul Goldschmidt at first base and Amed Rosario at second."
"Just off the numbers this year, there are not many advantageous matchups against Crochet, who went 18-5 with a 2.59 ERA in his debut season with the Red Sox. He went 3-0 with the Yankees with a 3.29 ERA, 0.88 WHIP, and 39 strikeouts in 27.1 innings pitched. Rice, who hit 25 home runs this season, went 1-for-8 with a double against Crochet."
