When the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees meet you can throw out the records. It is no great secret that these two teams do not care for each other. Nevertheless, they do have a mutual respect for one another. In honor of this brief two-game series, an MLB The Show 19 Gameplay simulation for tonight’s (April 16) game was a must. Here is how it went!
Red Sox, Sale struggling
The old saying goes like this – you can’t win a World Series in April, but you sure can lose one. The defending World Champions are off to a rough start in 2019. At 6-11, things are not going well for the BoSox. Bad pitching and lack of hitting has Boston off to one of their worst starts in team history.
Ace Chris Sale has struggled since Opening Day for Boston. Boston needs its 2018 star to regain his old form. Heck, they need every pitcher to regain their form! The Red Sox have given up 106 runs thus far – the leagues highest total.
Sale, ranked in the top 10 best pitchers on MLB The Show this year, is off to an 0-3 start with an ERA of 9.00. That is not very Chris Sale like.
The good news for Boston fans is the Yankees are struggling a bit too. Injuries have hurt New York so far in 2019. With Giancarlo Stanton and Dellin Betances out of the lineup for some time, the Yanks have lost some thunder.
MLB The Show 19 Gameplay simulation results
Who will win tonight’s Game 1 of the Yankees, Red Sox series? According to MLB The Show, New York.
Chris Sale’s woes will reportedly continue on Tuesday evening. The positive news is Sale pitches 8 innings and collects 12 strike outs along the way. The bad news is he gives up 5 earned runs and Austin Romine has his number in the Yanks 5-0 victory. Romine finished 2-4 with a home run and 4-RBI.
New York’s James Paxton pitched 6 1/3 innings giving up just 1 hit and striking out 7.
The MLB The Show 19 gameplay simulation may predict that the Yankees win Thursday evening, however, gamers will have to wait until late tonight to see how accurate this simulation was!
