After starting off slow, the Boston Red Sox have now won seven out of their last 10 games and have managed to win six in a row. They have done so against some below-average teams in the Cincinnati Reds, Oakland Athletics, and the Los Angeles Angels, but winning six games in a row in Major League Baseball is never an easy task and has to be respected.
This still leaves the Boston Red Sox 11.5 games behind the first-place New York Yankees, but they are right there in terms of getting a wild-card spot. They are going to have to continue playing this type of baseball throughout the remainder of the year if they want to get back to the postseason and be the team that everybody expected them to be.
