00:00It's back tonight.

00:02Six straight days of hell.

00:04Red Sox trying to hang on to make the postseason.

00:07Do you think they're going to get in?

00:09What's the path to get in?

00:10I separately want to get to...

00:12We haven't been in a pennant race in a while.

00:13Shaughnessy made this point in print the other day, and it's a good one.

00:17Since the new format, the Red Sox haven't even been in it.

00:19So how do you feel about the whole...

00:21I don't remember.

00:22Six teams all duking it out for like five teams for four spots or whatever it is.

00:27Plus, we're going to get wildcard matchups.

00:29It's a separate thought to get to.

00:30But how confident are you they get in, and what's their best path to get in?

00:34So I'm not super confident.

00:35However, I do think they get in.

00:37If you're like, they're in or they're out, I have them in right now.

00:40There's six games to go.

00:42I think if they go 500, they're in.

00:44Houston has been falling apart.

00:47And Cleveland's been insane.

00:49I mean, they just lost on Sunday.

00:51They were also off yesterday.

00:52But basically, it's going to be two for those three spots.

00:55And maybe even Detroit slips out of it.

00:58Oh, no.

00:58No, I love...

00:59Detroit is on my list.

01:00I technically had Seattle on the list, but you're right.

01:03Seattle's probably not even on there.

01:04Seattle, New York, Toronto.

01:06Obviously, Toronto's literally clinched.

01:07But those teams are good.

01:09One team's going to win the Central.

01:10The other one is in risk of missing.

01:13So I think they at least have a decent chance.

01:17But I don't feel great about it.

01:20I don't know how you can.

01:21It's going to feel like, for better or worse,

01:23the next six games are going to feel like playoff games.

01:26Yeah.

01:26Because it's like, anytime they lose...

01:28Not that they don't have room for error, right?

01:29These aren't all must-wins.

01:30But it's just like, as you're watching it,

01:33they can't let any opportunity slip away.

01:34Like, if they blow a lead,

01:36or if a starter gets shelled early,

01:39like, you're just going to feel terrible.

01:41Because it's there for them.

01:43I know the Roman Anthony injury

01:44has really kind of derailed things,

01:46derailed the offense.

01:48But they had such a big lead just a few weeks ago

01:51that they desperately need to get in.

01:53I think they do,

01:54but I don't know how you can have a ton of confidence.
