Prior to the NYY series I thought the Sox could go 5-4 and make the WC #2, or 6-3 and have no worries. Now it looks like 5-1 through the final 6 will either keep #2, get back to #1WC . In either event the 3 prior losses now require a sweep of O's or Nat's to guarantee the play-in game, with only one loss.
