John is right. The Rays are on pace to win 120 games, the Yankees on pace for 114 wins. Neither pace is sustainable.
The Sox pitching should be among the best in baseball; right now it's among the worst. It's possible that everyone in a Boston uniform is really crappy, but I don't think so. It averages out in the end. Boston will win more than 90 games -- I don't know how many more, or if it will be enough, but it's going to be a race at the end.
