If the Red Sox and Indians finish the season with the same record, do the Sox get the #1 seed based on their 5-2 record vs. the Indians this year?

According to the Globe they do have the tiebreaker:

Of magic numbers
By Amalie Benjamin, Globe Staff

With the Red Sox taking the lead (6-4) on the three-run home run by J.D. Drew into right field, and Cleveland losing to Kansas City, that could give the Red Sox the best record in the American League. Because the Sox have the tiebreaker with the Indians, the magic number is two, which could be finished off tonight.

That would give the Red Sox the choice of a seven-day or eight-day Division Series schedule.
