Currently, Boston sits in 2nd, 1.0 game behind Toronto and 1.0 ahead of third place Baltimore. As it stands right now, Boston holds that top Wild Card spot by that 1.0 game, but have just a 3.0 game lead on the rest of the pack.
The Red Sox continue to be baffled by where they’re currently at though in the standings. Entering play into this series, Boston has been playing as good as anyone, winning 6 straight games, which includes a short 2 game sweep in Baltimore.
They send out Rick Porcello on Friday night, who is enduring his best season in the MLB.
Porcello enters play with a 16-3 record, going 8-1 in his last 9 starts. His lone loss in that span saw him allow just 3 runs to Seattle, but get no offensive support.
Detroit Tigers
Detroit is hanging around in the AL Central, trailing by 6.0 games to the Indians.
Still, the Tigers have the talent to make a push at the division title, but it’s time for things to start clicking here.
The Tigers have gone 2-8 in their last 10 entering this series and have dropped 3 straight games. It’s been late losses that have burned this team, along with the long ball from the pitchers hurting them.

The Tigers send out Rookie of the Year candidate Michael Fulmer here.
He’s certainly been the biggest surprise, carrying a record of 10-3 with a 2.25 ERA on the season.
Fulmer went into the hitters ballpark in Texas and pitched a complete game shutout against the best offense in baseball last time out. He’s been that good this season and has stepped up on numerous occasions for the Tigers.
