## Resource

The Boston Red Sox are currently last in the AL East with a 20-27 record, 11.5 games behind the Tampa Bay Rays. Despite a recent 7-6 streak, they hold the third-worst AL record and face challenges like base-running errors and a struggling offense. Interim manager Chad Tracy has a 9-10 record, and key pitchers like Sonny Gray and Garrett Crochet are crucial for potential playoff contention. The AL East rivals are also making moves, with the Rays at 4th and the Yankees at 5th in the power rankings. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
