If you had asked me three months ago which one of those teams would be fighting to stay above .500 and which would be comfortably atop the division, I’d have guaranteed that it would be the Red Sox looking down at the competition.
There are still a ton of games and left to be played and the Red Sox are far from being out of contention in mid-May, but we would be lying to ourselves if we pretended to not be the least bit concerned. The fact of the matter is, through 39 games they’ve been nothing but underwhelming.
