Sox vs. Yankees - let's get it on!

Yes, it’s early June but you have to be somewhat excited about the three-game set between the Yankees and Red Sox at Fenway. Like it should be, these teams are 1-2 in the division standings, and the three pitching matchups should make for good viewing.

Judging by those matchups, I like the Sox winning two of three (the first two) and taking a one-game lead into the weekend, when the teams start another round of interleague play.

Most experts will tell you these games don’t mean too much because there’s still plenty of season to be played. But if you don’t remember, the White Sox and Twins had to play a one-game playoff last year to decide the AL Central champion (won by the South Siders).

One more win for the Twins against the Sox during the regular season, and they would have clinched the division. Trust me, these games mean a lot.
