All things considered, the month of May was a stabilizer for the Red Sox after their terrible start to the season. They finished the month of April with a 13-17 record, largely due to a worst-case scenario on their season-opening trip out west, but they head into June one game over .500 thanks to a 16-11 record in May. It just doesn’t seem things went quite that well because they’ve finished the month about as poorly as possible against good, potential playoff teams. Still, all things considered a 16-11 record would be a 96-win season over a full season, if you’re looking for some optimism.
