Late Wednesday night — or early Thursday morning, I suppose — the Angels lost to the Indians, a loss that clinched a playoff spot for the Red Sox. Now, this was only clinching a guaranteed spot in the wildcard game and there is still plenty of work to do clinching the division. The Yankees are red hot right now and have a favorable schedule moving forward, so the Red Sox have to take advantage of their own favorable schedule. Despite the work that still needs to be done, though, with just over a week left in the season it’s not too early to start thinking about the playoff roster.
