Red Sox News: 6 highlights from 2022 regular season schedule

Looking ahead to 6 key moments of the 2022 Boston Red Sox schedule

Things haven’t looked great for the Boston Red Sox lately. The team barely played .500 baseball in July, finishing the month 13-12. Thanks to the Mariners taking two-of-three games from the Rays after Tampa swept Boston, the Red Sox remain just 1.5 games out of first place in the division after their series loss against the Tigers.

It’s not time to press the panic button yet, but it is getting down to crunch time for Boston who can’t afford to falter any further down the stretch. The next two weeks will be pivotal in deciding where Boston ends up in the division standing.

Over the upcoming four consecutive series, Boston takes on each of their AL East competitors. The Rays aren’t the only worry as the Blue Jays and Yankees are intent on contending this season. They made significant moves at the deadline, scooping up high profile trade targets that many teams including Boston were eyeing. Boston will have to show the other squads what they’re made of to take home the division title.

Just for a moment, I invite you to forget all that and leave the stresses of the playoff push behind by looking ahead to 2022. MLB released the schedule yesterday and it’s ripe for prediction, projection, and all kinds of possibilities.

Here are some of the key moments that Red Sox fans have to look forward to during the 2022 regular season.
