To get to WC #3 , the Red Sox will need to post a .600 win rate against these opponents , and Seattle will have to start losing a few each week. When it is all done October 1 if the Sox miss by 2 or 3 games, it will be easy to find those missed wins over the past 6 months.
Finishing with 4 against the Orioles will be interesting because will the O's be positioning their starters for the playoffs, resting some regulars or going all out to get home field or beat the Rays for 1st?
