If you're the kind of fan who wants a frenzied finish to the wire, you're gonna
love September (and a smidgen of October). After today's matinee against the Rays, Boston embarks on
yet another 9-game road trip—the last three of which are in Toronto against the first-place Jays. But starting on September 9th up in
The Great White North,
Boston will play all of its final 23 games of 2016 against AL East opponents. Think of it, assuming the top three remain as clustered as they are this morning, this is
anybody's flag to gain. And, there is no assurance of a "safe"
Wild Card berth with so many non-division teams also in the hunt. Buckle up!
