The Red Sox have a chance to sweep their three-game series against the Blue Jays on Thursday at Rogers Centre and potentially clinch their first postseason berth since 2021

Boston has a 98.8% chance to make the postseason, according to Fangraphs. Even if they lose that one-game lead for the No. 2 Wild Card, they still have a two-game lead over the Astros for the final spot, plus the tie-breaker over Houston. The Red Sox essentially have a three-game edge over the Astros with three to play.
