The Red Sox are 32-20. Only three major league teams have won more games -- and two of those three teams are over in the National League. In the NL West, to be exact. (And neither of them are the Dodgers.)
The Red Sox have the second-best team batting average (.261) in the major leagues and they begin a four-game series against the top team tonight (the Astros, .264). They are fourth in the American League in OBP (.321) and first in slugging, OPS, and total bases. Also first in doubles, by a wide margin: they have 115, the Rays have 101, and the Astros have 98.
