After a rough set of games on the road against the Yankees and A's, Boston Red Sox fans began to feel a little antsy about the final few games of the season. Some bad luck in the final week of the season could see the Sox drop out of playoff contention altogether. Boston radio hosts Zolak & Bertrand of 98.5 The Sports Hub state adamantly: “If the Red Sox collapse…They’re not gonna collapse, they’re making the playoffs.” The math is in Boston’s favor, according to the hosts. The 2025 season has been particularly wild, and the Rangers are another team still seemingly on the cusp. Things may already be looking up for the Red Sox, with Wilyer Abreu activated and ready to add some urgency to a lineup that’s been lacking since Roman Anthony went down to start September.
