The Boston Red Sox finished the 2018 regular season at 108–54, becoming the winningest team in franchise history.
Players who helped contribute to the Red Sox' success this year include outfielders Mookie Betts and J.D. Martinez. Betts is one of the frontrunners for AL MVP. After recording 32 home runs and 30 stolen bases this season, Betts became only the second 30-30 player in franchise history behind Jacoby Ellsbury in 2011.
Martinez hit 43 home runs with 130 RBI during his first season in Boston and was looking like an early contender to win the Triple Crown.
