We are half way through the 2018 season and the division race in the A.L. East has been everything we could have hoped for. The Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees are separated by just one game. The Red Sox are tied with the Astros for the most wins in baseball. The Yankees are one back in the loss column and three wins back. To date, the teams have split six games against each other. The Yankees carry a better record against .500 or better teams. And they have the edge in strength of schedule .
