I used up all my lucky t-shirts and lucky underwear in the Cleveland series, without success. I may need to watch this one in the buff. Except I'll be on rapid transit for the first few innings and that won't go over well there.
And because the Red Sox have lost 2 of 3 to Athletics, they haven't locked up a playoff spot and might still have a lot to play for next weekend instead of resting up for the WC round.
It would be way bigger than the Tigers’ surge to a playoff spot last year. If they lose the division after being 9.5 games up with 16 to go, it would probably be the biggest MLB collapse ever.
