What happened: The Boston Red Sox are still stuck in Chicago after completing a sweep of the Chicago White Sox, per Tim Healey. They have a game starting in five hours at Citi Field in New York against the Mets.

Why it matters: Boston carries a six-game winning streak into the tight turnaround, having won five of its last five. The Mets enter on a shorter two-game streak, and oddsmakers list New York as a 149-point 5.

By the numbers: Red Sox: 43-48, last five WWWWW, scoring 4.1 runs per game, allowing 3.9. Mets: 40-54, last five WWLWW, scoring 4.2, allowing 4.8.

What to watch: Watch whether the delayed travel affects Boston's bullpen usage or lineup construction for the series opener.
