The Boston Red Sox have defied expectations this MLB season, holding onto the third American League wild card spot with a 50-40 record, driven by breakout stars like Kutter Crawford and Tanner Houck. In MLB, notable All-Star snubs like Brandon Nimmo and Francisco Lindor demonstrated their worth by leading the Mets to a 7-5 victory over the Nationals. The All-Star Game rosters have been a hot topic, with some arguing that players like Jonathon Smith and Jordan Westburg deserved spots.
