The Yankees will win the East.

Tonight starts the second half of the season. For the Yankees who are only 2 1/2 games out of first place will take this weekend's series against Boston. After that, they take the lead and in my opinion never to look back. Some reasons:

1 - Ruben Sierra said so.

2 - Gary Sheffield has A-Rod's back.

3 - Jason Giambi has found his swing at the plate.

4 - The Yankees are hitting their stride. While their rivals in the East are falling like dead weight.

With the "Idiots" in Boston, there is too much team fighting. With the O's its their lack of quality starting pitching. Based on the Yankee bat alone will the Yanks soar past these two teams.
