Fun With Statistics
Did you know that the Yankees are playing .722 against teams not the Red Sox? And, conversely, the Red Sox are playing .563 against teams not the Yankees? The two teams play each other next on June 29th. May the trend continue (only may the Yankees beat the Red Sox next time around)!
UPDATE: Ooh, the Red Sox got swept by Texas this weekend (not as hideous a fate as it would have been in the days while Texas was still burdened with the huge A-Rod salary; like, you know, last year). They're now playing .525 against teams not the Yankees.

Excellent use of numbers. As I've often said, there are lies, there are damned lies, and there are statistics. Based on the info, I'd have to agree the Yankees are the better and more consistent team at this point.
