Both teams will be looking to reverse their fortune in 2015 following forgettable 2014 campaigns. The Yankees finished six games above .500 at 84-78 but failed to clinch a postseason berth. The Red Sox fell to the basement of the A.L. East, posting a 71-91 record in the wake of their World Series championship in 2014.
