Immediately prior to dropping $300,000 at a Hollywood nightclub, the Boston Red Sox won the 2018 MLB World Series by defeating the Los Angeles Dodgers four games to one. On their way to the title, the Sox defeated the New York Yankees three games to one in the American League Division Series, and then dispatched the defending MLB champion Houston Astros by a margin of 4 games to one.

On October 1, this blog asked the question whether offense can carry an MLB Team to a World Series title.
The Boston Red Sox are four wins away from answering that question in the affirmative, at least partially, after winning the American League pennant last night against the favored Houston Astros. The Sox, who continue to enjoy home field advantage, are now 5-0 on the road in the playoffs, as they wait to see whether their Fall Classic opponent will be the Los Angeles Dodgers or the Milwaukee Brewers.
With 108 victories, the Boston Red Sox achieved the best record in Major League Baseball and have secured home field advantage for their entire playoff run as long as it lasts.
