Red Sox in the Post-Season

Josh Beckett’s 4th QS during this post-season in 4 starts got me to start to think about the Red Sox all-time post-season pitching records. So I hopped on Baseball-Reference.com for some research. Here goes:

All-Time Post Season

• in all, the Sox have played in 138 post-season games (18 appearances)
• the Sox have an all-time record of 73-64-1 (.533)
• starters in these games earned 85 QS in these 138 games (61.6%)
• of these 85 QS, the Sox won 55 of them and tied 1 (66% win percentage)
• so that means that the Sox have had 53 non-QS and have only won 34% of these games

At Fenway Park

• at Fenway Park, Sox hurlers have tossed 35 of these post-season QS and have a record of 22-12-1 in these games (64.3%)

World Series

• there have been a total of 37 Red Sox QS in their 68 World Series games (54.4%).
• the Sox have won 41 of the 68 games they have played in (60%) en route to 7 World Championships.
• in 37 World Series QS, the Sox are 25-12 (65.8%)
