Rarely a team is favorite off the label so early in the betting season as they are doing this year, the Boston Red Sox in Major League Baseball.

After being beaten by aggressive Rangers in the first round of the baseball betting season (they lost all three games and they scored 26 runs), the diagnosis was that they would be off, but are 16 games and nothing to wake up.

The Red Sox, who began the year as clear favorites to reach the World Series, have the worst ERA pitching in the majors, are placed last in their division and have not won a single game out of Fenway Park.

Of course I only played one tenth of the season and the gap with the Yankees, leading the AL East, is just four and a half games, something a good team could be traced with a solid month. But what is astonishing is how bad they are playing ball in Boston.
