As the first half ended, the Sox would make the playoffs as the AL Wild Card team. Their closest competitor for the Wild Card is Tampa Bay, 2 back of Boston in the loss column.
As the second half unfurls, we will continue to watch the Yankees & hopefully overtake them for 1st place in the near future. It would be nice to win the AL East outright & have home field advantage throughout the playoffs.
But in the meantime, aren't we also looking below us to see what the Rays are doing? We want to get into the playoffs anyway possible. As in past years, however, one team from the AL East will be the odd man out. Right now, it's the Rays who are out, but we'll be watching that closely for the rest of the season.
