As the Red Sox continue to lead the American League East, defying expectations most had for this roster coming into the season, the bullpen has been a big reason why the team has played so well. This relief corps, which ranks fourth in fWAR and third in park-adjusted ERA, has been an underrated part in this team’s seemingly unmatched ability to pull off comebacks, keeping games within reach just long enough for the offense to strike. Boston’s 20-11 record in one-run games is one of the best in all of baseball, and bullpens are typically the number one reason a team can keep that kind of run going.
