The New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox represent a rivalry nearly as old as Major League Baseball itself. In the early part of the 2018 season, both of those clubs have established themselves as being better by far than anyone else in the American League Eastern division. Both clubs are in action tonight and the weekly Baseball Swarm predicted their games, as well as the rest of the Friday action around the league.

With the two best records in all of baseball and in a virtual tie for first in their division, the Yankees and Red Sox look to be headed for a terrific season-long pennant dogfight to try to supplant the world champion Astros. Tonight New York is in Kansas City to take on the flagging Royals, while Boston hosts a struggling division rival when Baltimore comes to visit.

Looking at the replay above, which prediction looks more confident? In our analysis, both are almost identical as a single measure expressing high confidence, though the chart shows the swarm willing to show a little more trust in a hypothetical bet on Boston. That being said, when the swarm was asked to make a pick of the night for Friday, they opted to go with the Yankees in a matchup of two games where the group was extremely confident in the likely outcome.
