Boston will enter the series in control of one of the AL’s three wild card slots. The Red Sox hold a slight lead over the Yankees for second place in the AL East. They possess a powerful lineup led by Trevor Story, Alex Bregman, Wilyer Abreu and Jarren Duran.

The Red Sox appeared to be on the verge of sweeping the Marlins when they took a 3-1 lead into the eighth inning on Sunday, but the bullpen couldn’t come through after Garret Crochet departed following the seventh inning, and Miami rallied for a 5-3 win.

The Boston Red Sox will get their first look at MLB’s No. 8 prospect when the Orioles come to Fenway Park for a two-game series beginning Monday night.
