I suppose I could sit here and tell you that the Red Sox, according to Fangraphs, still have a 16 percent chance of making the postseason and a 1.4 percent chance of winning the World Series. I could sit here and tell you the schedule gets easier with a week full of games against teams (currently) behind Boston in the standings and then have a series against Baltimore shortly after that. I could point out all of the other Wildcard contenders have clear flaws of their own. I could gather everyone around and go on about the very real talent on this Red Sox roster and how it can show up suddenly at any point.
What now?
