The Boston Red Sox hit the 120-game mark with the best record in the major leagues by a considerable margin at 85-35. Fueled by a four-game sweep over the New York Yankees at the beginning of the month, the Red Sox hold a 10-game lead over their hated rivals for the top spot in the American League East.
That has Boston as a considerable -4000 AL East betting favorite on the MLB division odds at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.com. The Yankees are clinging on to hope at +1500 to win the division with a record of 74-44, but it's hard to see a team as well-rounded as the Red Sox coughing up this comfortable lead.
