The Red Sox Are Clinging To Improbable Playoff Odds

The Boston Red Sox are the worst team in the American League East. They are 0.1% of the playoffs. The team is not even in contention for the postseason. They won't make the post-season in 2022.

The Boston Red Sox are last in their division. They are 16 games behind the division leaders, the New York Yankees. The fourth-placed Baltimore Orioles are 4.5 games ahead of them. Boston will need to take a sizable step forward in player development next year to return to relevancy.

2 moves Red Sox must make after difficult 2023 season

After their third last-place finish in four seasons, here is how the Boston Red Sox can bounce back in 2024.

Orioles win AL East, exceeding expectations with unique blend of stars, survivors and castoffs: ‘They’ve learned to battle’

The Orioles entered 2023 with high expectations for themselves, but few beyond the clubhouse believed they were capable of what they achieved Thursday. A team of rising young stars, rebuild survivors, castoffs and veterans blended together in harmony across the past six months to win the American League East on the night the ballclub also agreed to…

Latest FanGraphs playoff odds reveal nothing but optimism for the Blue Jays

It seemed like it was not so long ago when the Toronto Blue Jays finished off a miserable, deflating series against the now AL West-leading Texas Rangers, their odds of making the playoffs appeared very bleak. At the time, FanGraphs had the Jays at a worrisome 33.8 percent chance of reaching the postseason with just 15 games left in the regular…

Coming into their four-game series with the Texas Rangers, not only were the Toronto Blue Jays in a playoff spot, but they had the chance to control their own fate over the final three weeks of the regular season.

Blue Jays' playoff odds under 50% for first time in three months

For the first time in a while, you can accurately say that it looks like the Toronto Blue Jays will miss this year's playoffs. The Blue Jays haven't exactly had the best stretch of games as of late, and have seen their playoff odds dwindle as a result. Toronto is currently 2.5 games back of the Houston Astros for the final American League Wild Card…

Red Sox remain long shots after trade deadline

Red Sox remain long shots after trade deadline

There was much speculation about what the Boston Red Sox would do at the trade deadline. They could have chosen to go for it by being buyers, or they could have opted for a long-term outlook by being sellers. In the end, the Red Sox were passive and remained much of the same team they were before the Aug. 1 trade deadline. Of course, the hope is…

Blue Jays' playoff odds look promising at the All-Star break

Now more than halfway through the season, the Toronto Blue Jays have a few days off before the unofficial second half begins. With the dog days of summer heating up, the stretch drive to the playoffs is right around the corner.

Sneak preview of World Series (as long as Rays cooperate)

ST. PETERSBURG - Here we go, it's the Atlanta Braves and Tampa Bay Rays. A sneak preview of the matchup that October craves. They have been, far and away, the two best teams of the season's first 90 games, and there is nothing standing between them and the World Series. Except, maybe, Tampa Bay's battered rotation. And a thin bullpen. And an…

The Crow’s Nest: Failing Upwards

Good morning, your Seattle Mariners have, per FanGraphs, a 100% chance of making the playoffs. Well, it's certainly been a week, hasn't it? The Mariners have played quite possibly their worst baseball of the season, even in comparison to their awful May when many of us thought the season was over. The Mariners have lost 6 of their last 10,…

Let's get one thing out of the way right off the top: if the Tampa Bay Rays do not make the postseason in 2022, it will be a big disappointment. The Rays currently hold the top Wild Card spot. They have a 1.5 game lead over the Blue Jays and the Mariners, and a comfortable four-game lead over the Orioles, who are on the outside looking in. They are…
