Boston built a 4-0 lead in Game 1 and still leads 4-1 as of this writing. A victory would match the 1946 club’s franchise record with 15 consecutive wins. The nightcap would then offer something no Red Sox team has accomplished across 126 seasons: a 16th straight victory. Boston entered Wednesday 19-2 across its previous […]

Seattle reaches the rubber match at 51-51, one night after surrendering its brief hold on first place. Cincinnati arrives at 46-54 with a chance to steal an unlikely road series. Monday’s 8-0 opener stayed scoreless through four innings before Seattle detonated Cincinnati’s relief bridge. Tuesday reversed the script, as three Reds homers carried a 4-2 […]

Cincinnati reaches Seattle after scoring 23 runs across three games at Coors Field. That weekend revived the lineup, but it also came inside baseball’s most forgiving offensive environment. The Reds now move into T-Mobile Park, where the outfield swallows mistakes that carried through Denver. Seattle returns home at 50-50 after taking two of three from […]

Washington reaches Coors at 50-50 after taking two of three from the Athletics. The Nationals scored 29 runs in that series and 65 across their last ten games. Their 4-6 record during that span exposes the split between a dangerous lineup and a ruinous bullpen. Washington produced a .874 OPS, 21 homers, 45 walks, and […]

They have hit only .248 across their last ten games, so the surge has come through run prevention. Boston keeps winning the strike […]
