Since baseball adopted the 162 game schedule in 1961, only two teams have topped 110 wins in the regular season. Those two teams were the 1998 New York Yankees with 114 wins and the 2001 Seattle Mariners with 116 wins. The 2018 Boston Red Sox still have a long way to go to reach the same milestone, but their odds look increasingly strong.
This year’s Red Sox currently sit at 86-36 through the season’s first 121 games and are on pace to win roughly 114 games. To reach 110 they’d need to go 24-16 or better through their final 40 games.
