- After a brutal June (two separate four-game losing streaks), Boston ripped off a 15-game winning streak from July 3–22 — a dramatic turnaround everyone’s talking about.
- Bettors have noticed: odds to win the AL plunged from +8000 to +850 (a $10 bet would have paid $810 before vs. $95 now), and about half the money wagered since the All‑Star break has gone on the Red Sox.
- The hot streak raises a big question: can they sustain it? Pitching (Sonny Gray, Aroldis Chapman) has been huge, but the team still hits the fewest homers, and impending buy/sell moves by the front office will be telling.
