As uneven as the Red Sox’s 2025 season has been so far, Alex Cora and his group are seemingly back in the playoff picture.
After posting six straight wins against two cellar-dwellers in the Nationals and Rockies, Boston is tied with the Mariners for the third and final wild card spot entering Thursday night against the Rays.
Sitting now at four games over .500, the Red Sox still have plenty of work to do when it comes to leapfrogging teams in the AL, with FanGraphs tabbing Boston with just a 35.9 percent chance of making the playoffs.
