Let’s face it, Boston Red Sox fans were spoiled last year. A franchise-record 108 wins, a loaded roster led by an MVP, and a World Series title. Everything was coming up roses in 2018.
They set the bar high last year which makes this season’s regression feel worse than it is. The Red Sox certainly aren’t a bad team. They will finish with a winning record and at least made it to September still playing meaningful games. Boston will have a chance to flirt with 90 wins, a strong total in most years but a massive drop from last season.
