Red Sox Emerge as Early AL East Surprise | IXGAMES
Don’t look now, but the Boston Red Sox are one of the hottest teams in baseball. In fact, with rapidly improving 12/1 odds of winning the World Series, they are the hottest team in baseball, the winningest too. Can the success continue in the apparently unpredictable American League East? Betting on Major League Baseball could be a luck of chance or true skill, try out with a free 50% Bonus Thanks to an impressive streak of wins, fueled by a stellar pitching rotation and Mike Napoli’s rampant RBI addiction, the Red Sox have rallied at a time when the city of Boston needed something to collectively rally behind. Clay Bucholz has wowed with five-consecutive victories to start the season, complemented by the nearly as successful Jon Lester. Their respective opponent batting averages of .192 and .214 over the course of a full month’s workload have put the franchise on pace to reach its first postseason berth since 2009. This weekend the Red Sox will look to test just how far they can push their early-season success with a three-game set against former Bostonian Adrian Beltre, Lance Berkman and the Texas Rangers. The Rangers, don’t forget, are something of a contender in their own division.
