The Red Sox didn't concern me. I had zero doubt that they'd be in the playoffs. What makes me feel better is that the Yankees strong point going into the season, their hitting, has been what has let them down. I have little doubt their hitting will come around.

The other thing is that the other teams that were supposed to be competing with the Yankees for the wild card [along with the Red Sox] were the Tigers and Indians. They are not doing well either. Do I think the Yankees will have a better record than one of those two teams come October.

Yes.

Last year, I wasn't so sure.
