Hanging tough and close within your primary opponents huge run of the year is clutch in order to have a chance to run them down and the strength of schedules in the 2nd half favors the Yanks this year(last year it favored the Sox).

This is a good point, as a Red Sox guy I have loved the streak, but usually the lead opens up a bit more than just 4 games. Yankees are playing the same NL East, so they have been hanging tough, only difference has been the Red Sox have played like .900 ball against the NL East and the Yankees have been like .700. I'd be happy to play .700 ball anyday. It will close to the finish, as it always is.
