They're on a 31-5 stretch after looking like guaranteed sellers, literally a historic run.

Unfortunately, they look like one of those teams that starts off slow and then takes off like a rocket all the way to the World Series. It happens every now and then.

Get ready for a BoSox vs. Dodgers or Cubs World Series.

Yeah, you can lock them in there with some certified NL powerhouse. You know, like baseball's richest team and defending World Series champs, or that second place team that hasn't won its division in 6 years...wait

The below is a heat map of where Brazoban has thrown his sinker in 2026. The bottom image is the pitch in question that was hit. You'll notice it's almost like the Red Sox just have a.... scouting report!

I know you already looked at this already, but If we're talking scouting report, he throws his sinker on 2-2 just ~18% of his career/this year. Meanwhile his change usage is at 67% on 2-2. If youre sitting on a pitch there, you're likely sitting change. There's not going to be too much change in profile between the two there, but important distinction regardless. That second picture also does not do it justice. He hit that ball at his ankles. Really a nasty pitch. Regardless of all that, I dont think youre going to get any story from just a single pitch.

All I said is that once in a while there's a team that looks to be totally out of the race in the first couple of months and then catches fire and soars to the World Series and Boston looks like they fit that pattern. Nothing is guaranteed.

As far as the Cubs go - yeah, they still have to get past Milwaukee. But lots of teams make it to the WS without winning their division. Unless you think they won't make it as a wild card?

.....I'll also add that the 2021 Braves are the most recent example of this. They were under .500 at the break and then totally caught fire and ended up winning the WS. We've seen these kind of teams before. Boston reminds me of this, but of course, they play the games for a reason.....anything can happen.
