The Red Sox enter a critical stretch after Labor Day with 23 regular-season games remaining and a tight divisional race. The team sits 2.5 games behind the Blue Jays and tied with the Yankees, facing a must-win night at Fenway with the ace starting. Each remaining loss will be increasingly difficult to overcome in the standings, making favorable matchups essential to seize. The season is shifting from a marathon to a sprint, intensifying urgency and fan interest as playoff positioning tightens. First pitch is scheduled for 6:45pm at Fenway, with weekday games resuming earlier start times through season's end.
We're on the other side of Labor Day, the games still matter, the Sox are tied with the Yankees 2.5 games behind the division leading Blue Jays, they're at Fenway, and they've got their ace on the mound. While not mathematically true, this is a game they have to win. With just 23 contests left in the regular season, each loss will be harder and harder to make up in the standings, so you've got to grab the low hanging fruit games when they appear, and I'd say tonight qualifies.
For so long, the MLB is a marathon. It's a marathon, it's a marathon, it's a marathon; and then all of a sudden it's a sprint! The 2025 season is in the process of making that transition right now, and there's few things better than when your team is part of the rising tensions. ⚾️ First Pitch: 6:45pm at Fenway Park (Note the slightly earlier start time. Those are back on weekday games at Fenway between now and the end of the season.)
