The Red Sox have struggled this season with consistency. They depend on Xander Bogaerts for scoring. He has an OPS of 0.848, 63 RBIs and 12 home runs at an average of 0.317 this season. However, since he got injured in the last game, the other players in the roster have to step up and start delivering. Pitchers have done well in recent games, but lack consistency and which is letting the team down.
