The Red Sox's season has been replete with spectacular moments and remarkable stories. They're an electric young team that will look to sweep the A's before their crucial upcoming series against the Yankees at Fenway Park.
The stars managed by Alex Cora appeared again on Monday in Sacramento against the A's. Story hit his 24th home run of the season in the first inning, adding further arguments to those who say the Red Sox SS deserves the Comeback Player of the Year award.
Garrett Crochet had another spectacular night on the mound; he had no problems whatsoever against the Athletics' offense, not even against the pair of outstanding rookies Wilson and Kurtz. Crochet pitched seven innings of shutout ball while striking out 10. Crochet will undoubtedly win some Cy Young votes.
Another record-breaking season is closer for Aroldis Chapman, with a streak of more than 40 consecutive batters retired, setting the best ERA for any pitcher below 1.00. Some believe the Cuban also deserves a Cy Young vote, even as a closer.

Our Boston Red Sox vs Athletics Prediction
Some diehard Red Sox fans continue to view the back end of the rotation, the starters who pitch after Crochet-Bello-Giolito, as the team's weakest link. May joined the Dodgers looking to change that, but he has yet to make his first confidence-inspiring start with Boston.
Jeffrey Springs will start for the Athletics in the midst of a long season in which he has managed to stay healthy; he has already pitched 157 innings this season with a respectable 10-10 record but an ERA above 4.00.
Finally free from Crochet's dominance, the A's will generate some offense against May on Tuesday.
Our prediction for Red Sox vs Athletics is: Over 10.5 runs.
