Boston missing the playoffs could very well be the objective here , so I won't be shocked if NY lays over against Tampa, but we'll see what happens.
It's hard to imagine the Yankees laying down for anyone, but their hate of the Red Sox makes this the one and only exception. Boston has a 1 game lead with 3 to play - just like Atlanta. Will be interesting to see if one, both or neither of them (Sox or Braves) chokes away the big WC lead they once possessed in September. It would be expecially disappointing for Boston. After the off season acquisitions they made, everyone had them picked to be in the WS and most had them winning it.
