If the Red Sox end up making it to the World Series this year, their path through October may very well be remembered as one of the more difficult ones to navigate in recent memory. This will be just the sixth time since 1971 that a team will face two 100-win opponents in the same postseason. Not to mention that one of Boston’s opponents was an arch rival and the other is the defending champ. Not exactly the luckiest draw. Yet going into the ALCS against the Astros, it doesn’t seem like confidence is in short supply for the Red Sox — and rightfully so.
