I don't think the Yankees look that unstoppable really. While Joba had a decent outing on Saturday, I don't see it continuing, and we all know how A-roid and SaFAThia are playoff bombs. Winning the league over a season is a lot different than winning a 5 or 7 game series. I see NY leaving after the first round in all honesty.
Boston looks like the best team going into the playoffs for the AL. Sure I'm biased, but the bullpen is coming around, the starting rotation (hoping on Lester) is settling in, and the offense has started to come around. They may not have been very powerful in NY this weekend, but let's be honest, the Red Sox are looking for October, not catching NY. If history repeats and Boston gets past Anaheim, and if NY happens to make it past Detroit or Minnesota, Boston will take the ALCS from NY in a series. I get flashbacks of '04 watching the season play out this year.
