Sox’ longest winning streak is 8
What’s the significance of the eight-game run the Red Sox put together at the end of July, early August? Nothing, other than they will probably have to match it to take the AL East.
Presently, the Sox are riding a three-game streak. But with the hapless Orioles hosting the Yankees for four games this week, it’s going to be near impossible for the Red Sox to put any separation between them and the Bronx Bombers.
Therefore, the only real option for the Old Towne Team looks like a Belichikian run of the table, at least through Saturday, October 1. And that would tie their longest winning streak of the year and clinch the AL East.
Short of that, keep an eye on Chicago-Cleveland this week. If the Tribe stays hot and Chicago folds, we could backdoor our way into the playoffs via the wild card. It may not be the honorable way to go, but who really cares if you make the final tournament.
