With A Cherry On Top
Tomorrow, Sunday, could be a very big day for the Yankees and Red Sox.
After tomorrow, Boston hosts the Blue Jays for four and the Yankees head to Baltimore for four. And, then New York and Boston square off for three in Fenway.
The Red Sox are only 5-9 against the Blue Jays so far this year. But, some of those losses were against Doc Halladay - and he's out of the picture now. Throw in the Fenway Factor, and Boston should take at least 3 of 4 from Toronto.
Likewise, I expect the Yankees to take 3 of 4 from the O's. Baltimore is really struggling now - and the Yankees are playing well.
Therefore, the Sox and Yanks should cancel each other out on their upcoming four game series - meaning that tomorrow's game is the chance for one team to get a leg up on the other (before the big and final showdown).
I wish the games were starting right now - instead tomorrow afternoon. Tom Petty was right. The waiting is the hardest part.
