Toronto is leading MLB in home runs (25) and SLG (.498) over the last 14 days and can play spoiler to the Boston Red Sox, who are 4.5 games out of the AL&#8217;s final wild-card spot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The Atlanta Braves and Minnesota Twins are both currently safe in wild-card seeding but have divisional aspirations, too.
