Sox/Yanks head to head history:
-Sox currently 6-0
-In 2009, the Sox started 8-0, then the Yankees went on to win the World Series
-Yankees had a 12-game win streak last year (across two seasons).
-Yankees had 14 wins in 2019. Sox had 13 wins in 2013 (best each team has done in current era)
If the Sox can win the next 4 games, we will be approaching historical significance to the point that it will become a story the players have to answer questions in the media
update, now 7-0 this season
the Yankees limping towards contraction with a roster decimated by covid at just the right time to extend the current streak. 9-0 seems realistic. After that, they have a reasonable shot at 15-4.
