We are, as we have so often been this year, trapped between the standings and the metrics. One says the Sox are 36-46, in last place, miles out of first and ninth in a 12-team wild-card stack. The other says they’ve outscored their opponents and are a top-five team in the AL with a starting rotation to match. As the Sox head into a very soft portion of the schedule -- home to the Nationals and then a road trip to play the Angels, White Sox, and Mets -- they have a chance to further define themselves as a playoff contender built around starting pitching.
