Red Sox could make this surprising bullpen decision for playoffs

Related Topics: Red Sox, Justin Slaten, Zack Kelly

The Boston Red Sox's bullpen has been stellar all season. Not only have they had the most dominant closer in baseball in Aroldis Chapman, their setup man, Garrett Whitlock, has been incredible too.

It hasn't just been those two, though; everybody in the Sox bullpen has played their role all season, leading to the Sox having the second-best bullpen ERA this season with a 3.47.

While a postseason appearance is not guaranteed at the moment, the Sox will control their own destiny over the final two series. Their bullpen will play a major factor over the next handful of games, helped by the fact that the expanded September roster has allowed them to carry one extra arm.
