The Boston Red Sox held the top American League Wild Card spot to start the final week of August.
Unfortunately, the Red Sox don't entirely control their own destiny as the postseason rapidly approaches.
Boston's magic number to clinch a Wild Card spot over both the Guardians and Rangers is nine.
The magic number represents the total number of wins needed by the Red Sox and the total number of losses by a given opponent that would clinch a playoff spot for Boston.
