Offensively I think the Yankees are close to the Sox. But the Yankees staff right now is CC Sabathia and a bit of patchwork. Can you count on Freddie Garcia and Bartolo Colon to keep up how they've started for the entire season? A team like the Phillies has a high end rotation, but offensively the likes of Ryan Howard, Chase Utley, and Jimmy Rollins aren't doing that much this yet.
With the Red Sox offence looking to be in sync, and three guys in that rotation looking pretty strong in Lester, Beckett, and Bucholz I would agree that they're the best team in the majors, and they're starting to separate themselves from everyone else. If John Lackey can just give them quality starts they'll be a .670 team or better to close out the season.
