Red Sox Hot Streak Powers Playoff Push | Sports News

The Boston Red Sox are on fire, going 48-20 since late June with a scorching .705 winning percentage—the best in MLB over that stretch. Now back in playoff contention, they sit third in the AL East, just seven games behind the Rays and holding the fifth seed in the American League. Their resurgence? A lethal pitching staff (ERA of 3.38 since June 25th, second only to the Yankees) paired with timely offense. This weekend’s series against the Royals at Fenway is pivotal—they’re throwing their top three starters: Sonny Gray (Friday), Ranger Suarez (Saturday), and Payton Tolle (Sunday). Suarez, who swapped spots with Gray for extra rest after a rough patch (ERA over 4.00), is expected to rebound big—especially considering his $26M/year contract. This series could be a crucial step toward postseason success. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
