The Sox had a better runs scored/runs allowed ratio than the Yanks. The Yankees hit a lot of home runs and had a good combo (up until the end) in Gordon and Rivera.

I'd say the two teams were evenly matched, as they were last year. Throw out the 10-4 and 19-8 games, and the scores were 10-7, 3-1, 5-4 in extra innings, 6-4 in extra innings and 4-2. Good tight, tough games.
