We are down to the wire and every game is significant. The Sox now comfortably sit in second place in the Wild Card standings, but given Cleveland’s surge that has rendered the Tigers a Wild Card team now, and Houston still in the mix, wins are still crucial. Today for the Sox and Blue Jays, two bona fide aces are on the mound, but Scherzer had an extremely rough outing the last time he pitched and the Royals ended up winning that game 20-1. Will his bad luck continue, or will he get it together? Will the Sox bats and the bullpen succeed if the Pig can’t? Can we get this series win tonight, or will we have to fight for it tomorrow? It’s my last coverage of a regular season game for the 2025 season, and I very much hope it’ll be a win to close it all out. Let’s see how it goes!
