Red Sox advantage helps the Yankees

Cleveland's loss to Kansas City tonight means that the Red Sox get home field advantage throughout the American League playoffs.
And that's good news for the Yankees.
That's right, good news.
Not because the Yankees like playing in Fenway, but because under Major League Baseball rules, Boston gets to choose when it starts its series against Los Angeles. It has opted for an extra day of rest.
If Cleveland had won that right, it would have allowed the Indians to pitch C.C. Sabathia and Fausto Carmona twice each in a five-game series with the Yankees.
The Yankees would be toast under that scenario.
