The yankees have a tough month ahead. They play Oakland twice, KC once, Seattle twice, Anaheim twice, texas once, TB once, and Baltimore once. (talking about series here, not individual games). Thats a tough run of games, and if they continue to play how they are playing now (which I seriously doubt), they could very well end may still under .500.
The sox, on the other hand, Play texas once, Cleveland twice, KC once, Toronto twice, TB once, Oakland once, and Seattle once. While this is a somewaht tough schedule, it is definitely easier than what the yankees have to face.
The sox need to capitalize on the next few weeks in particular and pull ahead of the yankees to a point where they have to fight back for the rest of the season. For once, the Yankees should be playing catch up, not us.
