The Red Sox are playing phenomenal baseball, and I think the fact that they are off to a 12-6 start is a big surprise to a lot of people. It is certainly a surprise to me, as I saw them as more of a .500 team and expected them to play at roughly that rate to start the season as well. They are beating good teams and good pitchers, though, and they’re doing it with a well-rounded effort. The rotation, to me, has been the biggest story, as their starters have been able to keep them in just about every game early on in this schedule.
How much of the Red Sox lineup’s success is batted ball luck?
