Not only are the Red Sox in possession of a wild-card spot, but they're also within five games of the AL East lead.
The Red Sox improved to 53-42 with their win over Kansas City on Sunday, now with a two-game cushion for the last playoff spot.
FanGraphs gives the Red Sox the third-best odds for a wild-card spot and projects them to win roughly 85 games, but competition remains tough.
AL West is a near tossup between Astros and Mariners, with slim chances for securing a wild-card spot, leaving little room for error.
