Red Sox Magic # Is 5...Yanks Lose To Jays In Finale!

The Red Sox Magic Number is 5 and the New York Yankees dropped to 2 games back of the Sox .

The Yanks were beaten Monday afternoon by the Toronto Blue Jays 4-1 in the finale of their 4 game tilt in the Bronx. Yours truly predicted both series outcomes (applause) !

So here we go folks..6 games for the AL East title.

In 2007

The Red Sox were 2-4 vs Oakland and 2-1 vs Minnesota

Yankees were 8-7 vs both the Devil Rays and Orioles

Keep in mind that both the Red Sox and Yankees will battle hard for the AL East but you can bet they hope the titles settled early so they can rest their veterans earlier.
