After the Boston Red Sox scored 40 runs in a three-game sweep of the Oakland Athletics, Michael Silverman wrote this in the Boston Herald:
- But I am buying into the notion that this 2016 Red Sox offense has the chance to remain high-octane. And by high-octane, I mean a run-scoring machine that has a shot at being one of the best offenses in team history. ...
With 196 runs through 34 games, the Red Sox are scoring an average of 5.76 runs a game, which projects to 934 for the season.
