Yes, the Yankees get .5 for the win, and Sox get .5 in the lose column. For a net total of 1.

A win is +0.5 and a loss is -0.5. Since the Yankees are in first place and the Red Sox are in second, every game the two play head-to-head widens or shrinks the gap by 1 game, a combination of one team's loss and the other team's win. For example, over the last three games, the Yankees have earned 3 wins while the Red Sox lost 3 games. Therefore, New York gained three games on Boston.

To figure this out, you add the difference in wins to the difference in losses and divide by two. Since they are play ing head to head, the winning team gains one full game.
