Whitlock (1-0) logged two perfect innings Monday, taking the win in Game 4 of the ALDS against the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

Whitlock got the final six outs to close out Tampa Bay. He has emerged as one of Boston's most valuable pitchers this season, and his importance is only amplified in October. It will be interesting to see whether he can wrangle the closing duties next season or if he will remain in a fireman role.
