Although the Yankees failed to take advantage of A.J. Burnett's absence yesterday, they can still win the A.L. East. They have six games remaining with
Tamba Bay and Baltimore, albeit on the road. The Red
Sox must play six against Oakland and Minnesota, who, while not world-beaters, are actual baseball teams. If the Yankees can take care of business and put up a 5-1 or 6-0 week, they have a real shot at the division.
