SOXTOBER: The Red Sox are making their 24th postseason appearance, including their 10th in the last 16 years (2003-18)...This is their 3rd straight playoff appearance, matching the franchise’s longest streak (also 2003-05 and 2007-09).

The only other teams to qualify for the postseason in each of the last 3 years (2016-18) are CLE, CHC, and LAD.

The Sox are 98-85-1 all-time in postseason play...They are 21-15 in 36 postseason series, having gone 7-6 in 13 trips to the ALDS (23-25 in DS play), 6-5 in the ALCS (30-32), and 8-4 in the World Series (45-28-1).

RING BEARERS: Seven members of the Sox’ ALCS roster have appeared in at least 1 World Series game, including 3 position players (Ian Kinsler, Mitch Moreland, Xander Bogaerts) and 4 pitchers (David Price, Rick Porcello, Joe Kelly, Brandon Workman)...Only Bogaerts and Workman have won a World Series, both with the Sox in 2013.

CHASING 119: Between the regular season (108-54) and postseason (7-2), the Red Sox have won 115 games...Only 6 other teams have reached that total: 1998 Yankees (125), 2001 Mariners (120), 1906 Cubs (118), 1986 Mets (116), 1970 Orioles (115), and 1975 Reds (115).

The Sox defeated the Yankees (100-62) in the ALDS and the Astros (103-59) in the ALCS...Only 5 other teams have ever defeated multiple 100-win clubs in a single postseason: 2004 Red Sox, 2003 Marlins, 2001 Yankees, 1998 Padres, and 1988 Dodgers.

COACH CONNECTIONS: Three members of the Red Sox’ coaching staff were drafted by the Dodgers: Alex Cora (1996 June, 3rd round), Ron Roenicke (1977 June Secondary, 1st round), and Tom Goodwin (1989 June, 1st round).

Tim Hyers served as the Dodgers’ assistant hitting coach for the 2016-17 seasons.

TAKE THE LEAD: The Red Sox are 7-0 this postseason when scoring the game’s 1st run (0-2 when they don’t)...They have out-scored opponents in the 1st inning, 9-2.

The Sox scored multiple runs in the 1st inning in Games 2, 3, and 4 of the ALCS, tying the franchise’s longest such streak in postseason history.

SLUGGING SOX: The Red Sox have averaged 6.22 runs per game in the postseason (9 games, 56 runs), MLB’s high-est mark of 2018...There have been only 4 seasons in which the Sox have averaged 5.0+ runs per postseason game: 2007 (7.07), 1999 (6.80), 2004 (6.43), and 1998 (5.00).

With RISP this postseason, the Sox have recorded a .370/.495/.658 batting line (27-for-73, 12 XBH, 18 BB, 3 HBP)...With RISP and 2 outs, they have posted a .394/.545/.727 line (13-for-33, 6 XBH, 8 BB, 3 HBP).

RELIEF CORE: Matt Barnes, Ryan Brasier, Heath Hembree, and Joe Kelly have combined to post a 0.81 ERA and a .122 op-ponent AVG in the postseason (22.1 IP, 2 ER, 9-for-74, 2 XBH).

Beginning with Game 2 of the ALDS, Red Sox relievers have stranded all 14 of their inherited runners.

Brasier is 1 of 2 pitchers in the 2018 postseason to allow 0 runs in at least 7.0 IP (also MIL’s Josh Hader, 10.0 IP).

Among the 44 pitchers who have faced 20+ batters this postseason, Barnes owns the lowest opponent AVG (.050, 1-for-20).

HOW WE GOT HERE: The Red Sox defeated the Yankees in the ALDS, 3 games to 1...The Sox had 18 hits in a 16-1 win in Game 3, marking the largest margin of victory by a road team in postseason history.

In the ALCS vs. HOU, the Red Sox hit 5 HR and averaged 5.8 runs per game...In the regular season, Astros pitchers led the majors in ERA (3.11), WHIP (1.10), opponent AVG (.217), and SO/9.0 IP (10.44).

ROAD WARRIORS: The Red Sox are 5-0 on the road in the postseason, having out-scored the Yankees and Astros by a combined 40-13 margin away from Fenway Park...Prior to facing the Sox, HOU and NYY had been a combined 17-1 in home playoff games in 2017 and 2018.

This is the Sox’ longest road winning streak in postseason history...They are 1 of only 7 teams ever to win 5+ consecutive road games in a single postseason (1st since the 2014 Royals)...The only teams to win as many as 6 straight road games in a single postseason are the 2005 White Sox (went 6-0) and 1996 Yankees (went 8-0), who both went on to win the World Series.

JUNIOR MINTS: Jackie Bradley Jr. was named MVP of the ALCS...He reached base in all 5 games against the Astros, going 3-for-15 with a .400 OBP, 2 HR, 9 RBI, 4 BB, and 1 HBP.

Bradley became the 1st player in MLB history to have 3 straight multi-RBI games in the postseason from the No. 8 or 9 spots in the batting order.

Including the postseason, the Red Sox are 14-0 in 2018 when Bradley homers.

STARTED FROM THE BOTTOM: The Red Sox became the 11th team in MLB history to hit 3+ HR from the No. 9 spot in the batting order in a single postseason (Bradley-2, Vázquez-1)...The record for most HR from the No. 9 spot in a single postseason is 4 (2002 Angels, 2014 Royals, 2016 Cubs).

BROCKTOBERFEST: In Game 3 of the ALDS at NYY, Brock Holt became the 1st player ever to hit for the cycle in a postseason game...It was the 1,562nd postseason game in MLB history (source: Elias).

Holt also hit for the cycle on 6/16/15 vs. ATL at Fenway Park...He is the 27th player since 1900 to accomplish the feat more than once, the 2nd Red Sox player to do so (also Hall of Famer Bobby Doerr, 1944 & ‘47).

FOREVER AND DEVERS: Rafael Devers, who turns 22 years old on Wednesday, hit a 2-RBI single in Game 4 of the ALCS and added a 3-run HR in Game 5...He is the only player ever to record consecutive multi-RBI games at the age of 21 or younger in a single postseason series.

The only other players to hit 3+ HR in the postseason before turning 22 years old are Mickey Mantle, Andruw Jones, Miguel Cabrera, and Bryce Harper (4 each).
