Strike Me Out To The Ballgame

As baseball sage Yogi Berra once said, "It's déjà vu all over again". Your 2025 Boston Red Sox are starting to look an awful lot like your 2024 Boston Red Sox. After their first 16 games, they are 7-9—most recently dropping a series to the abysmal Chicago White Sox—a team most normal squads get healthy on. 

The most troubling comparatives to 2024 are: strikeouts and errors—the two things Alex Cora hates more than watching Triston Casas sun himself on the outfield grass. In just 16 contests, Boston has struck out 158 times—that's an average of 9.875 times per game. 

And that "improved" defense—with Trevor Story and Alex Bregman anchoring down the left-side of the infield? So far, Boston has committed 19 errors—that's an average of 1.1875 errors per game.

If you're a betting person, go for the "over" on both Red Sox strikeouts and errors—you'll get rich.
