Red Sox Must Avoid Dodgers 2022 Collapse Amid Historic Stretch
The Red Sox have to be careful not to do what the Dodgers did.
The Boston Red Sox have achieved an extraordinary feat this past month and a half, drawing comparisons to some of the greatest stretches in Major League Baseball history. With a 64-51 record, they have won 11 of their last 12 games, including a remarkable 15-game winning streak in July. This 37-game span, marked by an incredible 32-5 record, is the best in franchise history and has never been seen by the Los Angeles Dodgers, who held the previous record with a 32-5 stretch in 2022.
While these achievements place the Red Sox in elite company, it is crucial to remember that the Dodgers did not follow up their impressive 2022 season with a World Series victory. As Dennis Lin pointed out, "The 2022 Los Angeles Dodgers were the last team to have a 32-5 stretch within a single season," but they ultimately fell short in the championship race.
The Red Sox, though possessing a strong chance at winning the World Series, must remain focused and aware that history does not guarantee success, especially since there is still a significant portion of the season left to play.
