June 4, 201213 yr Five most recent 14-2 stretches during a season: 2010 June 9th- June 27th (season result: 88-74) 2003 July 13th-August 1st (season result: 86-76) 2000 June 4th-June 20th (season result: 95-67) 1996 May 16th-June 2nd (season result: 85-77) 1983 August 27th-Sept 11th (season result 99-63) Does this bode well for our Sox to win 85 or more THIS season? or, could the team still be in danger of a 1978, where the team went 17-2 from May 28th through June 15th but still finished 19 games under .500?

That 1978 team finished their 17-2 run under .500 overall, which said more about the quality of the team. This year's team is 8 games over .500

This year's team is 8 games over .500 I agree with your point. I still thought it was worth pointing out that a stretch like that did not guarantee a winning season.
