Red Sox in the Post-Season

Posted by Andy

(thru 2009 playoffs)

Josh Beckett‘s 4th QS during this post-season in 4 starts in 2007 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 150 post-season games (20 appearances)
the Sox have an all-time record of 78-71-1 (.523)
starters in these games earned 85 QS in these 150 games (56.6%)
of these 85 QS, the Sox won 57 of them and tied 1 (67.65% win percentage)
so that means that the Sox have had 65 non-QS and have only won 32.3% of these games

At Fenway Park

at Fenway Park, Sox hurlers have tossed 42 of these post-season QS and have a record of 29-12-1 in these games (70.2%)

World Series

there have been a total of 45 Red Sox QS in their 66 World Series games (68.2%).
the Sox have won 40 of the 66 games they have played in (61.4%) en route to 7 World Championships
in 45 World Series QS, the Sox are 32-12-1 (72.2%)
