Another productice week for the Red Sox and it's time to take a gander at the standings.
The Red Sox are still sitting pretty on top of the AL East and are the first team in the MLB to get to 20 wins. So far, so good. The Sox were helped out this last week by playing two teams who are both struggling, the Astros and the Blue Jays.
The next week will be a little more of a challenge. The Sox kick off a 3 game series with the red hot Rangers down in Arlington tonight and then come home to face the Twins for 4 games. The game next week, in my opinion, that is a must see is Sunday's game in Arlington. It'll be Jon Lester vs Yu Darvish. Lester is coming off a bad start in Toronto and Darvish has been nothing short of spectacular.
20-8, not too shabby, eh? It's been a nice, pleasant surprise for a team that didn't come into the season with a lot of expectations.
