With the Sox now onto the official second half of the season, they still have to wrap up the unofficial first half with a four-game set this weekend against the Yankees.
It has the potential to be a big weekend for the Red Sox, with the four-game series against their hated rivals the only thing standing between them and the All-Star break.
It hasn't been the most successful start to the season, with the club just two games over .500, but Boston could certainly get back into contention in the AL East with a big series against the division-leading Bombers.
However, the Yankees, who come into the series with a 7 1/2-game lead over the Sox in the division, could go a long way in burying Boston at least in the race for the division.
Regardless, it has the potential to be a season-changing series for the Red Sox, for better or for worse.
How many games will the Red Sox win this weekend against the Yankees?
