The Boston Red Sox have hit a rough patch down the wire, but they remain in control of their postseason path. Boston’s breathing room in the American League playoff standings has evaporated after losing five of its last seven games. The Red Sox now lead the Guardians by just 1.5 games with 10 days left in the regular season. Fans may be getting nervous, but the betting markets still convey confidence in the Red Sox playing October baseball. The Red Sox also won four of six games over the Guardians this season, giving them the crucial head-to-head tiebreaker.
