So are everyone elses, I just gave you the breakdown, and my stats are 100% correct. Boston has by far the toughest schedule, Yanks play the teams you just listed(substituting Yanks for themselves). They play those teams 29 more times. The Yankees play those teams 34 times. But they have ten games more against the weak teams than Boston does. Gives em a 5 game advantage(2 1/2 games in the standings system, which is exactly what they trail Boston by). That little advantage plus the return of 4 stars really gives them a clear edge.
