This years New York Yankee team is in first place as of August 6th, one game ahead our Boston Red Sox. I got to admit, I didn't think there would have been a chance in hell these Yanks would overtake the Sox for first place after we had a three game lead a few weeks ago. One things for sure though, I am not afraid of playing this Yankee team.
We all know the Sox and Yanks are on a collision course to meet in yet another ALCS this year with both of them practically locking up the Wild Card weeks ago. The thing is, there is a very slim chance this Yankee team can beat us in a 7 game series.
Sure, they both have potent offenses that work up the pitch counts on opposing pitchers. However, the big difference between the two teams is we have two solid aces in Lester and Beckett to their one, C.C. Sabathia. There is no way as a Yankee fan you can honestly believe Bartolo, A.J. or Freddy can lead the way behind C.C. for your team in the playoffs.
The winner of the AL East will seem to have an easier road to the ALCS taking on Detroit or Cleveland rather than Texas in the ALDS. That's why I believe this division race is going to go down right until the end of September. One things for sure though, the 2011 Boston Red Sox are more of a well rounded team. These two teams will inevitability meet in the ALCS and the Red Sox win in no more than six games, take that to the bank.
