The Los Angeles Angels went into the MLB postseason with the best record at 100-62. But they leave the postseason after just four games, falling to the Boston Red Sox in the ALDS.

High: J.D. Drew goes deep off Francisco Rodriguez to win Game 2
Low: Angels botch attempted suicide squeeze in Game 4

The Red Sox will face the AL East champion Tampa Bay Rays for the pennant. Tampa Bay completed its four-game ALDS victory over the Chicago White Sox on Monday.

High: B.J. Upton hits two home runs in Game 4; Rays win series
Low: Javier Vazquez starts Game 1 for Chicago, allows six runs in 4.1 innings

The winning team in both series was the one with the better run differential during the regular season. Boston led the AL at +151, while Tampa Bay (+103) was a run behind Toronto for second.
