  "account": "The Yankees and Red Sox will face off in a best-of-three Wild Card series this September and October, the second consecutive year that these New York Yankees opponents have met in the postseason. Last year, the Yankees fell short in five games, losing the first to Boston and then winning the next two to advance to the Division Series. This year's matchup will be the seventh postseason series between the AL East rivals, with the winner facing the top-seeded Rays in the AL Championship Series.\n\nPitcher Cam Schilitta, who threw eight shutout innings with no walks and 12 strikeouts to secure the Yankees' spot in the next round, will lead the rotation for New York. Meanwhile, outfielder Ben Rice, who hit four home runs in the postseason last year including a crucial one in Game 2 against Boston, is the key player for the Yankees. The Red Sox, meanwhile, have a new manager in Chad Tracy, who took over after Alex Cora's dismissal early in the season. First baseman Willson Contreras is the team's top hitter, leading with a .905 OPS, 27 homers, and 81 RBIs.\n\nThe rivalry between these two teams is always intense, especially in the postseason. The series will be played at Yankee Stadium in New York, with all three games scheduled to be played. If necessary, the start time and channel for Game 3 will be the same as Games 1 and 2. Fans can catch the action on NBC, or stream it via DIRECTV, fubo, or Peacock.",
