So, the Red Sox have locked up a minimum of a .500 record, with room for 2 more wins, in April. They have survived, so far, a ruinous string of injuries , marginal defense and odd runs of hitting/no hitting . But pitching has been a strength that was unexpected.
Let's make it a new streak of wins
The SOX team offensive stats should take a significant rise, while the team pitching ERA will decrease.
The opposite will be true for the Cubbies.

SOX are now 2nd in the AL in team OPS, behind the O's.
I guess it's still early enough in the season where one big game can move the needle, a lot.Originally Posted by SPLENDIDSPLINTER

If HOU wasn't playing in Mexico City, this weekend, I'd say maybe we could pass them, soon.

has to be the most unexpected stat of the season.
Looks like the boys had their hitting shoes on last night. Good night in Boston with the C’s, and B’s winning too.
Most unearned runs allowed. Least earned runs allowed. Most batter strikeouts. Least healthy roster. Most baserunners caught between pizza boxes.
Half game out of a wild card spot...
Knew this year was going to be weird, but it's exceeding expectations.

Add: metaphorsaken manager, at the top of his game, in a contract year...
Yeah, if people don't think AC is a superior manager after watching him navigate the chaos he's been handed this year I don't know what to tell them.
