Hello TCMC,
It looks ok to me. The implicit antecedent here is "a state of affairs" or "situation", i.e.
1. The Red Sox are the most hated team in baseball, [a state of affairs] which can largely be accredited to their high payroll and obnoxious fans.

PS:
But "accredited" sounds odd to me: I would replace it with "attributed".
