Message: [QUOTE="bpo57, post: 2275010, member: 1572"] I agree Sox are in a strong position but Alsac's point was that it potentially could have been very tight if NY had won today. Sox go into Cleveland to play four against a team that is a difficult match-up for them. I could see them losing 3 of 4 very easily to where the lead could have shrunk to 1-1/2 or 2-1/2 by Friday. NYY goes into Detroit and won't have to see Verlander. Yanks have another shot at the end of the month and if they take 3 of 4 from Boston then they're right back in it. If they can't do that then it's a big uphill climb. Sox schedule is favorable afterward with series against Oakland and Cinci and even finishing with four against Houston who will likely have nothing to play for. [/QUOTE]
