So the Red Sox are definitely going into the playoffs, with home field for as long as they are in it. The question has become how long the Sox will actually be, ya know, in it. With recent history suggesting a first round exit is likely, there’s no end of worry that this year will be the same as the past couple of years.
Naturally, this leads to wondering how the Red Sox can avoid this fate. The best the Red Sox can really do is destroy the Yankees, and hope that the Athletics overtake the Yankees for the top wild card spot, but that may be asking for too much right now.
