BOS is a season-high 53 games above.500...the only other seasons in which the Sox reached 53 games above.500 were 1946 (+54), 1915 (+53), and 1912 (+58). HIGHEST WINNING PERCENTAGE IN MLB (2018) Rank Club Run Diff. Win % (Record) 1. Red Sox +223.688 (97-44) T2. Astros +235.621 (87-53) T2. Yankees +145.621 (87-53) EASTERN STANDARD: The Red Sox lead the Yankees by 9.5 games...their magic number to win the AL East is 13. The Sox won the AL East title in 2016 and 2017; they have never finished in 1st place in 3 straight seasons. BOS and NYY will play each other 3 more times in New York (9/18-20) and 3 more times in Boston (9/28-30). WINNING WAYS: The Red Sox have won 7 of their last 9 games...they are an MLB-best 41-15 (.732) since 7/2. The Sox are the only team without a losing streak of 4+ games this season...only twice in franchise history has BOS gone an entire season without a losing streak of 4+ games (1903 and 2013; won World Series in both years). 95, 96, 97...: This is the 7th time the Red Sox have won 97+ games in a season...in each of the previous 2 instances, they went on to win the World Series: 2013 (97-65) & 2004 (98-64). BOS has won 98+ games in a season 5 times (last: 2004). CHASING HISTORY: At 97-44, the Red Sox would need to go 9-12 (.429) or better in their final 21 games to break the franchise s single-season wins record of 105, which was set during Fenway Park s inaugural season (1912). The Sox have won 100+ games in a season 3 times: 1912 (105-47), 1915 (101-50), and 1946 (104-50). 141 DOWN: The Red Sox are 1 of 17 teams since 1900 to win 97+ of their first 141 games...the Sox 97 wins are tied for their most ever through 141 games (also 1912). MOST RECENT TEAMS TO WIN 97+ OF FIRST 141 GAMES Year Club First 141 Record Finish 2018 BOS 97-44 -- -- 2001 SEA 101-40 116-46 Lost in ALCS 1998 NYY 100-41 114-48 Won WS 1995 CLE 97-44 100-44 Lost in WS 1954 CLE 99-40-2 111-43-2 Lost in WS MONTH BY MONTH: The Red Sox have posted a.620+ win % in each month: March (.667), April (.760), May (.621), June (.630), July (.760), August (.667), and September (.800)...The only season in which BOS has ever had a.620+ win % in each month is 1912. HOME STRETCH: 15 of the Red Sox 21 remaining games will be played at Fenway Park...The Sox own MLB s highest winning percentage at home (.727, 48-18). There have been only 3 seasons in which the Sox finished with a home winning % as high as their current.727 mark (most recent: 1949, 61-16,.792). The Sox have sold out 37 of their 66 home games, including each of their last 30. HERE AND THERE: The Red Sox have 48 wins at home and 49 wins on the road; they have never won 50+ games both at home and on the road...the last MLB teams to do that were the 2011 Phillies (52 home/50 road) and 2008 Angels (50/50). At 49-26 (.653), the Red Sox own the majors 2ndbest road record behind HOU (.691, 47-21)...The BOS franchise record for road win % is.640 (1912, 48-27). This is only the 2nd time the Sox have ever won 49+ road games in a season (51 in 2002). SERIES BUSINESS: The Red Sox have earned 14 series sweeps and have been swept only once...according to Elias, the Sox 12 sweeps of 3+ games are the most in franchise history (previous: 11 in 1986 and 2009). WEEK IN REVIEW: The Red Sox are coming off a 3-game sweep of the 1st-place Braves...In Wednesday s 9-8 win, the Sox overcame a 7-1 deficit in the 8th inning and an 8-7 deficit in the 9th, marking their largest comeback victory since 6/24/16 at TEX (also 6 runs). Prior to Wednesday s game, teams were 0-487 this season when trailing by 6+ runs entering the 8th inning. Wednesday marked the 1st time the Sox won a game after trailing by 6+ runs in the 8th inning or later since 8/1/13 vs. SEA (trailed 7-1, won 8-7). The Sox are 64-11 when they score 1st and 33-33 when they don t, both the best such records in MLB. FROM ZERO TO HERO: In Wednesday s win at ATL, Brandon Phillips turned an 8-7 deficit into a 9-8 lead with a 2-run HR in the 9th inning...he is the only player in Red Sox history to hit a go-ahead HR in the 9th inning or later in his debut with the team (source: Elias). Phillips also became the 1st player to score 3+ runs in a Red Sox debut since Ted Cox on 9/18/77. Phillips became the 1,795th player to appear in a game for the Red Sox, the 1st to wear number 0. PRICE CHECK: The Red Sox are 35-13 (.729) in David Price s last 48 starts (since 8/12/16), including 17-2 (.895) in his last 19...The Sox have won each of his last 9 starts, tied for the longest such streak of his career with any team. BOS is 10-0 in Price s last 10 starts at Fenway Park. In 7 starts since the All-Star break, Price is 4-0 with a 1.62 ERA (44.1 IP, 8 ER, 34 H, 43 SO, 7 BB). GETTING DEFENSIVE: The Red Sox have committed an MLB-low 3 errors in 17 games since 8/11...They have made only 1 error in their last 9 games. SLUGGING SOX: The Red Sox lead MLB in runs (766), runs per game (5.43), AVG (.268), SLG (.455), OPS (.793), doubles (310), and XBH (520)...They also lead the AL in OBP (.338) and own MLB s 2nd-lowest strikeout % (19.7). The Sox are 37-3 (.925) in their last 40 games with at least 1 HR...They own MLB s highest win % in games with a HR (.809, 76-18) and with 0 HR (.447, 21-26). The Sox rank 3rd in MLB in steals and 5th in stolen base success rate (78.4%, 105-for-134). GOOD, BETTER, BETTS: According to FanGraphs, Mookie Betts leads the majors in WAR (8.5)...He also leads MLB in AVG (.335) and ranks 2nd in runs (111), OBP (.425), SLG (.626), and OPS (1.051). Betts ranks 2nd among ML outfielders with 17 defensive runs saved (source: FanGraphs). Betts has 29 HR and 27 SB...The only Red Sox player ever to hit 30+ HR as a leadoff hitter in a season is Nomar Garciaparra (30 in 1997)...The only Red Sox ever to hit 30+ HR with 30+ SB is Jacoby Ellsbury (2011). J.D. POWER: J.D. Martinez leads MLB in RBI (115), hits (170), SLG (.641), and total bases (325)...He ranks 2nd in AVG (.335), HR (39), and XBH (76), as well as 3rd in OPS (1.048) and runs (103), and 4th in OBP (.407). Martinez s 39 HR are the 4th-most for a player in his 1st season with BOS, trailing Dick Stuart (42 in 1963), Jimmie Foxx (41 in 1936), and Manny Ramirez (41 in 2001).
