Entering the 2024 season, the Red Sox’ starting rotation was viewed as the team’s most glaring flaw.
But through the first seven games of a new campaign, Boston’s pitching corps hasn’t just exceeded expectations — it’s arguably been the best unit in all of baseball.
Following Boston’s 1-0 win over the A’s on Wednesday, the Red Sox lead all of MLB with a 1.54 team ERA.
Red Sox starters have gone at least five innings in all seven games so far, with a five-man unit of Brayan Bello, Nick Pivetta, Kutter Crawford, Garrett Whitlock, and Tanner Houck giving up just eight runs through 38 total innings of work.
