It’s the final week of the MLB regular season, and the Boston Red Sox only have six games left to secure a playoff spot. Fortunately for the Red Sox, the Blue Jays have already clinched a playoff spot and the Tigers are in free fall. Detroit has lost nine of its last 10 games and is just 5-13 in September, falling behind Boston in The Athletic’s final regular-season power rankings. Meanwhile, the Red Sox have climbed from 10th to ninth after taking two of three from the Tampa Bay Rays over the weekend. With a 17-5 record, a 2.69 ERA and 249 strikeouts in an MLB-high 197 1/3 innings, he’s helped elevate the Red Sox from a .500 team to a playoff contender.
