*After Saturday’s action, the Red Sox’ chances of making the postseason were at 88.2 percent according to Fangraphs, and given that the next closest team in the American League (Cleveland) stood at just 20., the Sox look to be in good shape with six weeks remaining in the regular season.

Boston is currently holding onto the second wild card seed at 67-56 and is 5.5 games back from the Toronto Blue Jays in the AL East. The Red Sox are more than capable of reaching the postseason, but adding a talented first baseman like Lowe could be the difference in making a deep run and facing an early exit.

The Boston Red Sox's prospects have had a big impact on this season, but calling up even more talent could tip the scales in their favor.

5) The Red Sox’ home dominance shows no sign of abating. Saturday’s win upped their record to 16-2 over the last 18 games at Fenway and 18-3 in their last 21, dating back to June 30. Only the Toronto Blue Jays, who improved to 42-20 Saturday with a lopsided win over Texas Saturday, have a better home record in the American League.

The Red Sox found a guy who very well could be the best offensive player in baseball over the next few years. Anthony is that good and has shown flashes that's what he can do. He can beat you in any way. He's an on-base machine who can hit for contact nado

As a result of the pair’s combined efforts, the Sox’ next two spots behind steady ace Garrett Crochet — once an area of concern — has become a strength for the team.
