Miami (oh, Miami!)
In the "Will the real Red Sox please stand up" thread, we've discussed over and under achievement, baseline play, and kicked about the "worth" of the team.

As of today, there are 21 games remaining over 26 days.

The Sox occupy the second WC position for the AL, but there is no chance they will win the division (now 10 games behind TB.) The Yanks are .5 games up on the Sox in the first slot. Toronto is 2 behind, Seattle 3, Oakland 3.5.

These are the remaining series:
TB - 1​
CHW - 3​
SEA - 3​
BAL - 3​
NYM - 2​
NYY - 3​
BAL - 3​
WSN - 3​

Nine games against sub .500 teams in BAL and WSN. Eleven against + .500 teams. Six against potential WC rivals.

Covid impact began Aug 27th, with E.Hernandez and Arroyo put on the 10 day. It is ongoing, but their record on the 27th forward is: 6-6. It's entirely possible the Sox would be able to have all their Covid + players back by mid-September. Unfortunately, they must play 7 games against good opponents before a 3 game stretch in Baltimore.


So.

Do the Sox make the Post-Season this year?

I will be optimistic and vote yes but the result of today's game will probably have a large impact on how I feel going forward. Getting swept heading out on this critical road trip would likely cause me to switch my vote.

I said yes… 2nd WC spot. I think Toronto continues their hot streak and bulldozes their way to the WC 1 spot

I said no. The teams around them (aside from the Yankees, currently) are playing too well heading into the stretch, and seem to be playing with a lot more energy. I think it's going to be Seattle and Toronto for the two Wild Card spots.

There's a lot of encouraging signs for this team going forward, and I honestly don't think missing the playoffs makes this year a lost season or anything, but Chaim has a lot of work to do to turn this team back into a "dynasty".

I voted no. If you'd asked me a week ago my answer would have been a resounding yes. Just a sloppy team playing uninspired baseball and that's not a winning recipe in September.

I voted yes but only because NY and Seattle are playing poorly as well. Had Seattle hung on to win last night, I would have voted no.

The Sox needed to go 5-4 over the 9 game crucible of 3 v. TB, 3@SEA, 3@CWS. They are currently 0-2. If they hit 5-4 or even 4-5, I think they'll sneak their way in. If not, I think they're done.

Some additional thoughts:
(1) if the A's roll over for the Mariners (the teams play 7 more games), then the Mariners have a very easy schedule the rest of the way (D'Backs, Royals and Angels) aside from their series with the Sox. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that the A's will play the Mariners tough, which is going to make things hard for the M's.
(2) the MFY play bad teams for a couple of weeks starting on Friday, but then finish with 3 each against the Sox, Jays and Rays. If the MFY beat up the bad teams, they can build a lead after this Jays series and hang on dear life for those last 9 games.
(3) the Jays have 6 left with the Rays and 5 with the MFY. Worse, by my count, they have 25 games left over 26 days to wrap up the year. It's hard to believe their relief pitching is going to hold up over that kind of run. But they are playing well and may be able to afford a couple of losses where they let their best relievers rest.
(4) the A's are done -- they have 7 left with the Mariners and 6 left with Houston.

My bet is that the Jays and MFY wind up #1 and #2 in the WC.

When forecasting, we should remember the final-week resting and tuneup that clinched teams sometimes do.

Houston finishes with a lot of OAK games. I'm not sure they bring their A-squad to each one. Ultimately, it's still a tough row for the A's to hoe.
The CWS don't play anyone in the hunt during their final games.
The Rays have that final 3 game series agains the Yanks. I don't see them burning their best arms.

Overall, I'd agree with you. The Jays and Mariners have a good chance to play themselves into contention.

I voted no. The Red Sox are not playing like a very good baseball team right now. Granted I only watch the Red Sox games, so the only thing I know about the yankees, A's , Mariners and Blue Jays is their last scores. For all I know they may all be worse than the Sox, but my instinct is that it will be a Red Soxless October.

I wonder how much the resting/tune-up stuff will be affected by the smaller rosters. In the past, clinched teams had up to 40 players to use so they could run a lineup of mostly scrubs or use 5-6 pitchers that weren't going to be on the post-season roster. That's less the case now. Add in the three off-days between the last game of the season and the ALDS and I can see the division winning teams treating the last weekend a bit more business as usual than in the past. Still might not lead to them going all out to try to win those games, but they'll probably be more competitive than teams in a similar position a decade ago.

Or maybe I'm just trying to find some silver linings, especially for that Rays-Yanks series.

This is a fair point. The Rays have all but clinched the best record in the AL, so they can afford to rest some guys. Am I right that the better record between the CWS and Houston gets home field for their series? If so, those two teams are close in the standings, so Houston may not want to take its foot off the pedal.

Can anyone tell me what's going on with the Yankees? In August, it looked like they'd never lose again, but now a treading water Red Sox team is gaining on them. What is their likelihood of retaining a WC spot? Wassup?

Very true. I think there are two main (and perhaps opposed) strategies re: players looking at 3 days off. 1) you want to give them rest. 2) you want to keep them in their regular habits.

So, during a clinching week, I'd expect rest for regular field players who weren't chasing numbers.

Maybe you have your best starter throw their last game 5 days before the ALDS, so they're in their regular mode/habits, or 6 to get them an extra day's rest if they respond to that. Maybe they're capped at 75 pitches or something, but in any event, maybe you see a team's 1/2 (and 3rd?) starters in the last 3 games of the season. Likewise, a team might want to rotate their entire bullpen through some of the final games, but more to keep the regular arm usage up, as opposed to asking guys for extra outs and the like. I'd expect anything funky, like a rain delay, to be approached hyper-conservatively.

So there still might be good players on the field, but they might not being aggressively managed to coax an extra win. (Unless it's potentially their twentieth win or something.)

I voted yes, even though I've been very pessimistic about the team for the last two months. The atrocious defense and super-shaky pitching has taken any sense of momentum away from this team, and I don't see a great answer to those issues. I think their first half was hot enough that they'll sneak in, but I would be shocked if they got past the play-in game. If they did, I could see a 2005 or 2009-style sweep happening.

I voted no because I think there is too much downward momentum, particularly against the good teams (a couple of wins last week in Tampa not withstanding) for them not to sink further. But as has been said by a few others, this was not a lost year. It was (the first half, primarily) very entertaining, and I think Chaim did a good job building for the future. I don't think him selling off the farm would have changed much (COVID issues now) and we have a good foundation of players new this year to build upon for next year.

I think they do. I've been going with 92 wins being enough for a while now, and I think that's about where they'll end up.

They are playing the White Sox at the right time, and I'm not sure the Mariners can hang with the big boys. Hopefully they are at full strength in a week.

Getting Kike back in center, Xander at short, and Arroyo at second should improve the defense from atrocious to merely bad.

I still think they make the playoffs. Seattle and Oakland aren't going to be able to keep pace, so they just need to finish in front of the Yankees or Blue Jays. Being 2 games up on Toronto makes it a little better than a coin flip.

I'm optimistically going with yes. They're likely going to exceed my mid 80's prediction for wins before the season. I think they'll be more like 88-90, which should sneak them in. Can even see them winning the WC game, if pitching lines up for Sale or Evo. But it ends there.

Yeah... Sale in a one game playoff even pitching in a hostile environment will give me a pretty good feeling for a victory. Five game series I think they can hang with anyone.
In a 7 game series, I don't see the Sox able to hang with the Blue Jays or the Astros. Even though the Rays will likely have home field, they still feel like a team built for the marathon but not the sprint of the playoffs so they don't scare me as much in a 7 game. Yankees, White Sox, A's and Mariners I think the Sox would be able to handle.
Obviously any of these are pending which Sox team shows up.... the one that seemed focused and able to scratch out a victory or the one that seems to drop a turd and mistake it for a HR

How do we know we won't have used those guys in games 161 and 162 to simply qualify for the play-in?

Sox are 10-8 since getting swept in the Bronx a few weeks ago. They have 21 games left; 11-10 is probably good enough to secure a berth. It’s far from a sure thing, but I think they get it done.

One thing to keep in mind about teams resting players heading into playoffs is that the 28 man rosters will somewhat lessen that ability.

I'm expecting a .500 road record during this time. It's only a difference of one game but at this point it could be the difference between a WC spot/home field and not. I think/hoping after that energizing victory last night that they can hold that and use it to stay focused on the road.

Other highlighted point in your post has Sox tied with Jays. Who would get the home field in this situation? Looking at that tie makes me really hope for a .500 road trip

Just saw that Yankees and Jays finish the season in a 2 game matchup. It’d be fantastic fate for them to have them tied heading into that series tied and be the determining games to clinch the final WC spot… splitting the 2 games and have to play a Play-in game. That would be played in a “neutral park”, yes?

??

The Yankees finish the season with three in the Bronx against Tampa while the Jays are at home against the Orioles. If somehow they end the season tied for the second wildcard, their play in game would be in Toronto or the Bronx depending on the head-to-head record. Currently the Jays are up 9-6 for the season with four games left to play. One win for them would lock in hosting duties in that scenario.

20 games remaining for the Sox. There are really just five teams in the running for two wild card spots (BOS, NYY, TOR, OAK, SEA), with none of them likely to take over their respective divisions. Sox have a half-game lead going into this final stretch, and are playing three of the other four teams in the running, so their fate is definitely in their own hands. They also have six of those remaining games against the Os, and even .500 ball gets them to 90 wins, which could potentially be enough. Plus, the Covid crew is hopefully returning soon, and Eovaldi is pitching like he wants to drag the whole team into the post-season by himself. I've had my doubts over the last two months, but I think they get there.

Truth. Gallo is batting .134 over his 37 games with NY with an OPS of .627. Rizzo has put up ok numbers (.265 AVG, .793 OPS). Heaney has an ERA over 7 (not counting the 2 runs he gave up tonight).

EDIT: I should have added that it looks like Clay Holmes has pitched well since coming to the NYY at the deadline.

Voted Yes .. with caution. The MFY are terrible right now (watching them lose again to Toronto) and I don’t see them turning it around.

So, It’s Boston and Toronto … both teams have flaws , Toronto has a worse schedule , The Red Sox are getting healthy.

The Jays, Yankees, and Red Sox are all tied with 62 losses. The next three weeks could be nuts. But I'd prefer if the Yankees simply lost every game from here on out and made it much less stressful.
