What is going on?

The Red Sox aren't playing well, or at least that's how it appears. Since June they have a record of 20-22. On June 1st, the Sox had a 12.5 lead on the Yanks, now it is down to only 7. Clearly this isn't good, but it isn't as bad as you would think. The Sox are getting extremely unlucky. The Red Sox have scored 189 runs over than period and only allowed 176. Based on Pythagorean record, they should have won 53% of his games. That would put the Sox at 23-19. If that had happened than the Yankees would still be 10 games out, the sky wouldn't be falling, and Red Sox nation would be at peace. So please fan, relax. We are under performing and getting unlucky. When those things come around, so will the Sox. The Yankees are a clear threat, but they still have a lot of work to do.
