Just over halfway through the season, the Boston Red Sox have the most wins in Major League Baseball. As of the morning of Friday, July 2, the Red Sox were 51-31 on the year. They beat the Kansas City Royals 15-1 on Thursday, July 1, which allowed them to reach that mark.
The Red Sox are 3 1/2 games ahead of the second-place Tampa Bay Rays, who made it to the World Series last year — and nine games ahead of the New York Yankees, according to MLB.com.
