The Yankees aren't giving up the AL East lead. This isn't the Mets we're talking about. The race is ALL BUT OVER because the Yankees have no weaknesses besides the very back of their rotation, which is everyone's weakness. They're rolling right now. They jacked up the Red Sox in four straight games a few weeks ago. They have nothing more to prove against them. The sweep also taught us that the first 8 games were a mirage, if you hadn't figured it out beforehand.
These games are but a formality. Only a Sox sweep would make this race even a little interesting, and looking at the pitching match-ups the Sox should be more concerned about getting swept (MLB.com preview/pitching matchups).
Pettitte vs. Penny (winless in August)
Burnett vs. Tazawa (the rookie)
Sabathia vs. Beckett (ace vs. ace)
If this looks like a Boston sweep to you...you're delusional.
