A question

As our Angels field a lineup that includes only two guys that can charitably be described as "regulars" (DaVannon and McPherson) in an attempt to earn home-field advantage, it's time discuss if it is, in fact, an advantage. Would you rather play the Red Sox at home, or the Yankees (and their devastated rotation) on the road?

Personally, I would much rather face the Yankees, a team that has a lot of problems right now. El Duque has come back to Earth, Brown is still a question mark, and there isn't a dominate starter on the roster. The Yanks just don't have the arms to go deep this season. Meanwhile, the Red Sox are the most complete team in the league at the moment, IMO, and should be avoided like the plague.

How about you?

UPDATE: Cleveland just finished off the Twinks, so this game is now, officially, meaningless. The Angels will open the playoffs at home against the BoSox.
