What has me worried is that whenever Boston gets down by four or five runs early in the game, they seem to come alive and mash the ball. Outside of a few times this year, when the Yankee starting pitchers give up early leads the Yanks seem to tense up, have no patience and not deliver.
Our pitching is better overall, but the Red Sox make teams pay over and over again and unless they hit the wall for a week, I don't see us winning the division.
