RED SX FALL GUYS
In his career, Dustin Pedroia has played in 10 playoff series spread across 10 seasons. He’s familiar with October baseball, but he’s an exception in this Red Sox lineup. Beyond their second baseman, the Red Sox’ offensive playoff experience is limited, with only six others having played more than three games in the postseason, and half of those are platoon or bench players.
