That feels like a definite win for NYY. Hope the Sox can take at least 2 so I don't have to read a dozen stories about a possible choke.

Looking alot like both teams will be in the playoffs so winning this series, or the division or wildcard, isn't that huge a thing. Only thing that will matter is who wins the postseason contests.

In other news, there were 28 other teams playing in as many as 5 different divisions...

There are other teams? That matter?

Where is the sarcasm font?

And this is why Vegas calls me to set the line each weekend.
