Schwarber's .910 OPS would provide a significant and much-needed offensive boost at that spot. The Red Sox previously tried to use Christian Arroyo at first base, for the first time of his career.

The Red Sox have won all six games, averaging nearly nine runs per game. Hitting in the leadoff spot this postseason, Schwarber is 7-for-23 (.304) with four walks, three home runs, and six RBIs.

If not, the Red Sox will have missed their opportunity to do more, and that includes missing out on some available but costly starting pitchers who are signed beyond this season. 3. Kyle Schwarber.
