Tight Wins and Big Losses Make Red Sox Perfect Fade
It's too early in the season to make any assumptions, but initial returns indicate the leaders of the AL East aren't quite all they're cracked up to be. A 12-7 record is the fourth best in baseball. But while their peers have all earned in the neighborhood of five units, the Red Sox have earned just 2. 9. They were already considered title contenders before the season began and their allegedly strong start has done nothing to change that.
They have have been favored in 17 of 19 games so far this season with an average line of 148. And sportsbooks never need any prompting to give a team like the Red Sox a little extra juice. The real secret behind Boston's play so far lies in their margin of victory. Boston is 5-1 in one run games this season with the wins against Baltimore, Texas, Seattle and Tampa Bay. None of those teams were, or are, considered title contenders.
