GDT: Where do sweeps come from?

They come from Boston.

Kim Klement-USA TODAY Sports

I thought that the Rays last sweep of Boston was going to jump-start this dying season. I really did.

After the Toronto series, though, I'm forced to entertain the idea that I've misread my spreadsheets slightly. This upcoming sweep is what's going to jump-start the season.
