The Red Sox have won their last six games and 15 of their last 20. Despite four weeks of success, Boston has actually lost ground in the AL East because the Yankees will not cool off.
On the morning of May 9, the Red Sox were in the AL East basement, covered in shame at actually playing worse than the Orioles.
MFY 19- 8 ---
TBR 18-11 2.0
TOR 17-13 3.5
BAL 11-17 8.5
BOS 10-19 10.0
Since then, the Red Sox have caught fire, going 19-8 and matching the MFY's fast start to the season.
