## Resource

Red Sox Surge: Mediocrity in the AL Opens Playoff Path The Red Sox, after a dismal start, are showing signs of life, sweeping the Royals and improving to a .429 winning percentage. Despite key players absences, their better pitching and defense have boosted their lineup. This improvement comes amidst a trend of mediocrity in the American League, with only five teams boasting winning records, compared to nine in the National League. This lack of dominant teams benefits the Red Sox, who, despite their rough start, have a realistic shot at making the playoffs as a wild card contender.
