If the Sox sweep, the Pirates sweep the Reds, and the Angels lose 2 to the Astros, Sox drop from 10 to 12. Unlikely, yes, but a couple losses this weekend would help.
Nova starting Game 1 of a doubleheader...or an attempt to play a doubleheader.

The 3:40 doubleheader tomorrow is now 3:10 because of the rain possibility later on. They’re probably just trying to get one in and then two on Saturday.
Padres lost. Percentage points better than the Sox.
Rockies down 4-3 in the 8th
Sox need to go 2-3 and hope for 9th, or enough rain that helps in some way.
In the right deal, Madrigal is movable. I doubt it will happen though...and ultimately we’re going to be happy he’s on our team making every play and getting knocks and scoring runs.
Nice to see the Angels won too. Looking like 8 or 9.
Tigers clinched the first pick last night. The doubleheader with them on Friday might get rained out. Saturday and Sunday have some rain too.
