3 days agoRed Sox playoff picture: Thursday's loss to Jays means no postseason clinch ... yet
Boston entered Thursday with their magic number to secure a postseason bid down to one - meaning that all the Red Sox needed was a win over the Blue Jays or an Astros loss to the Athletics to punch their ticket to the playoffs for the first time since 2021.
