WAITING FOR THE DEALS
FROM THE BILL CHUCK FILES
The season ends on September 27. There are 58 days of play remaining.
There is just a long weekend until the trade deadline. August 3, 6:00 PM ET.
THE MATCH-UP OF THE WEEKEND
The Red Sox are at Dodger Stadium this weekend, and I think this three-game set has the potential to be better than most of the early postseason games.
The Dodgers are 13-10 (.565) in July.
The Red Sox are 20-4 (.833) in July; best record in MLB.
The Dodgers are 7-6 at home in July.
The Red Sox are 12-1 on the road in July; best record in MLB.
The Dodgers are 13-9 at home in June and July.
The Red Sox are 16-8 on the road in June and July; best record in AL.
The Dodgers in the first half were 52-29 (.642)
The Red Sox in the first half were 35-46 (.432)
