Yeah Boston winning 2 of 3 is ideal. That 3 game set against us gives them an opportunity that the Yankees no longer have and they have an offday before they face us so they can probably finagle Crochet into the series.
That said, they only have 16 games left so there is less opportunity to take matters into their own hands and make games up.
It also makes their 3 game deficit look a little rosier than it actually is, they are 4 back in the loss column so with the tiebreaker they will have to be 5 losses better than the Jays over the rest of the season. Going to be tough for them!
