If you want an example of how wacky small samples can be, look at where the Red Sox stand four games in. It’s not that they’re 1-3. That can happen to literally anyone (the Dodgers lost two of three to the Rockies to start the season, for example). Rather, it’s how they’ve gotten there. The offense has not been the boost that they are expected to be this season, and it’s put extra pressure on a pitching staff loaded with questions. They’ve answered the call more often than not despite the record, but eventually a lack of offense will make you pay.
